Look at wakeboard or wake surf ballast bags. You could get 1500 lbs of ballat sacks that sit in front of a bed divider. Ballast pump with longer hose to xfer to camper. Find a package on close out. Couple handled for 2 bomb proof ballast sacks and a 12v pump. Fold up and store when not in use.

We don't drink exclusively out of the FW tank but it does get drank and used for cooking. For me it was a free solution that works well for the infrequent need and you can get more "upright" shapes that take up less floor space.
