Regular question, if you search the forum.
I have a friend who drains the tank before leaving each site because he reckons the water sloshes around & affects steering etc. Another does the same but to reduce weight, to keep within the legal limit. Both fill up on arrival, to 100%, for a weekend, so they’re draining 75% of the tank before going home. I find it wasteful to drain good water away like that.
We have the very same MH, and roads in SW Scotland can be pretty bendy. We fill to 50% max at home & the stability is absolutely fine. We get water from the site tap for drinking (us & dog), we use the site showers (that’s a way to go through your water tank quickly!), so water is only used for cooking & kettle. The tank lasted 6 days recently, the alarm will go when it’s close to empty & that didn’t happen.
Remember, the waste tank size is in proportion & sloshes around (or not) in similar fashion. We have a black canister & empty it daily. A collapsible bucket does the same. A lot of MHs rely on a drive-over drain, but you should consider that a luxury. Emptying it on the hard stand is just not on, I’ve challenged people about it - it was on a site with no drive over, they had no canister & didn’t care.
