Fresh water tank vs on-road handling

   Hi, we are taking our 2024 RP116 on its first boondocking outing soon. We routinely empty the tanks on the way out of RV parks. We want to fill the FW tank at home for this next trip. 

I didn't see baffles when looking through the translucent FW tank wall. Fluids slosh when cornering. (40 gal of gas in a retrofitted tank, with no baffles, can destabilize a light pickup.)

• Is sloshing of 250 gallons of water, low to the road, even a problem? 

• If a problem, will the hitch stabilizer help? (It's a size up from the minimum required.)

• What other gotchas await us?

Thanks,
