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.
