The Eurocamper's tank is a bit over 5 gallons. That is 40 pounds of mac and cheese/green pepper slurry. Bigger tanks will need substantial mounts to stay attached over bumps--20 gallons is 160 pounds of disgusting slurry you are hauling around. Better to empty it more frequently. Besides, it adds no mass to the driver's side--the water comes out of the water tank and goes into the graywater tank. Just empty and fill at the same time.
