Okay, here's what I do. I have *never* in 4 years fulltiming put fresh water
in the fresh tank. I am only off the grid for about 2 hours on travel days so
I don't need to carry water.
I never dump my black tank until it's almost full, and prefer to dump it
after travel when it's sloshed around.... so I do travel with it full sometimes.
I have alot of truck and never worry about the extra weight.
I will travel with water in the grey tank if I know I'm going to dump the
black enroute...... not full but enough to make a "chaser"
