Since the trailer should not be towed with any water in the tanks, except for a gallon in each to slosh around and help keep the tank clean, tanks do not add much weight to a trailer. A trailer shouldn't be towed with full tanks any farther than the nearest dump. Rear bath trailers that have rear holding tank(s) are thrown out of balance in the worst way by full tanks. (More weight in the rear reduces weight on the hitch and increases the moment of inertia, encouraging yaw (sway).) Al
