Partly Filled Water Tank
IMHO fill it completely. The main reason is sloshing. If you have 30 gallons slopping around a 50 gallon tank, that is about 250 lbs. moving front to back or side to side. That alone, especially as low as the center of gravity is, shouldn't be enough to rattle your trailer off the coupler or tip it over, but with a big pothole or a swerve to avoid a deer in the road... you don't need more instability. Even if all it does is pop open the overhead cabinets and scatter Cheerios all over the floor, why risk it?
My white tank is filled to the brim when I leave. If I have to Walmart camp, I can still have a shower - and I'll fill my Jerry Can once or twice with filtered water to top off the white tank again. When I hit a campground I dump the gray and black completely.
Extra water could come in handy with a radiator leak or a close encounter with a skunk.
Equalizing tanks? I plug the shower drain, take a shower and use a small pump to move the water to the toilet drain. With a dishpan, you can put your dishwater down the toilet too. "Pre" processing as opposed to post.
