I removed the original 30 gal fresh water tank that was mounted on the floor under the couch (certified as the most uncomfortable couch in the universe).
I "hung" 3 40 gal tanks between the trailer frame rails below the floor. 2 of the tanks are tied together to form an 80 gal tank, one is by itself. I have 2 hand valves to select which tank is used, feeding the original pump.
Removing the original tank gave me a nice under couch storage area, and the 2 tank configuration allows me to take on the right amount of water for whatever stay we are planning. I never travel with the 80 full, just fill when going into a campground.
Don't forget, you need to store that water. I added 2 extra grey tanks (again valved to use whatever is needed) to hold the extra water.
