To the campsite full- to home empty (open the drain valve after packing up).

We just bought a Cirrus hybrid that has a 38 gal fresh water tank. Now, I've had problems with my water tank with the old pup camper, so I asked the lead service tech at the dealership about it on the new one because I did not want to deal with that again. Side Note: when talking with him for just a little while you soon realize he is extremely knowledgeable about all facets of campers and RVs. His recommendation is to tow with the tanks either full or empty. It doesn't make any difference, but he doesn't recommend towing with the tank partially full because of the sloshing and the effect it could have on handling. We did crawl under this camper and he showed me how well braced the tank is. I don't see there being any issue with the integrity of this tank; unlike my old camper. My plan now is to tow with the tank full when going and empty on the return leg.
