Unless you are bordering on overweight, your trailer should have no problem carrying the extra weight (yes, I have seen reports of tanks falling out, but it's extremely rare). Water only weighs about 8.5 lbs/gal...very little in the overall weight of your trailer (and absolutely zero add'l if you're using fresh water from your tank and not from city water hookup). You won't see a measurable difference in mpg, and you're unlikely to actually feel a difference in handling depending on the location of the tanks. Don't sweat it; they are "holding" tanks, and I have never seen an expiration date on how long they can "hold". Use them till they're 2/3-3/4 full, then dump. It's poo, not rocket science.
