We travel with 1/3 tank. If we need to dry camp, depending on how long we'll be doing so, we'll fill it more. We have filled completely for dry camping of more than 4 days and do so as close to the camp location as possible to be as easy on the rig as we can. It's quite a bit of weight to be boucing around all day. I noticed no real difference in the way the trailer handled other than it was heavier for start and stop.
Keep in mind that it does take a while to drain the tank if you use the drain valve and it's a lot of water on the ground. We do flush the tank at least every other month so we don't keep the same water in it all the time.
