to drain or not to drain fresh water
Do you guys and gals drain your fresh water from holding tank and water heater when you get back home and leave coach/camper sit for 3 to 4 weeks? Or do you leave water in them for next time, whenever...

My thoughts were to always leave full, as you will always have some water with an empty tank. A little water is enough to keep the interior surfaces moist, and worse with the air space much of the chlorine will evaporate into the air space. This would leave you with a small amount of non chlorinated water, a breeding ground.
Keeping the tank full, would allow for minimal evaporation of chlorine, and most interior surfaces would be protected as they would be submerged in chlorinated water.
Would dew form on the interior surfaces with the day/night heating /cooling cycle, this is what concerns me storing with an empty tank that has a small amount of water that won't drain. Thoughts?
