Welcome to the forum birish21
I'm not sure why you want to go the liquids only route but that's your business. It's your camper, your rules.
I have no need to carry a full fresh water tank but I always have at least 5 gallons or so in the tank to flush the toilet and hand washing while on the road. You could carry water containers to pour into the toilet and hand washing if you wish but that defeats the purpose of having the system you purchased.
ALWAYS keep a little water in the toilet bowl in order to keep the seal wet. About an inch or so. This is while on the road, camping or during storage. NEVER let the bowl seal dry out.
Enjoy your first trip. You'll learn a lot and maybe change a few rules as you go.
The bowl seals will be fine without water for a few hours while you are under tow...
We have never had this problem...yet. You may prove us wrong some day.
To the OP, put some water in your FW tank and enjoy the benefits of it. It is nice to turn on the pump and use your own toilet while traveling.
We use our toilet just like the ones at home. I only have 1 rule...the only thing that goes in it is human waste and toilet paper. Nothing else. No sanitary products, etc.

i get the OP's logic. A couple gallons of water in a jug weigh a lot less than 40-50 gallons in the tank. In lieu of jugs, i just throw about 5 gallons in the tank and fill up whenever i reach my destination.
