All three of my waste tanks have been reinforced and have been fine for many years. I try not to travel with any water or sewage in those.
My freshwater tank has been much better supported also. I added extra straps and a stainless steel sheet on the bottom of it. We still travel with full water wherever we go. Even if we have water at the campsite I never hook up to it.
By filling the tank and using the water pump you can instantly tell if there's a problem because the pump will run when nobody is using water.
Also like a lot of folks I don't like to leave the water on while I'm not at the camper. If you're using the tank and pump that's as simple as turning the pump switch off before you leave.
If your unit is hooked up to city water and you leave it on and then leave your camper, and there's a leak somewhere it will have unlimited quantities of water to destroy your camper.
If you use the tank and pump and leave it on and have a leak at worst you will have 66 gallons until it runs dry
