How about a real idea?
If you have enough height inside your trailer perhaps consider building a subfloor on top of the existing floor. Sort of like 5th wheel trailers have a "basement" which is where their tanks are put.
Typically most RV tanks are 7 inches or a bit less tall so you could easily make a new floor around 7" higher for the bathroom only or the entire living space. This would also give you a chase for other plumbing and electrical items.
Setup your layout correctly and you could make the tanks go under kitchen or even beds so your raised floor may not need to be the entire living space.
This, exactly.
You need to get back to the drawing board.
Tanks come in all shapes and sizes. Check Ronco tanks for reference. Just design your tanks into the RV properly. Keep them inside to resist any freezing issues if that's a concern. Hang them under to keep a little more interior volume.
Forgot to mention, subfloor would also be very helpful for adding lots of insulation to the underside of your trailer.. typical RV trailers only have about R2 (1 1/2") or so of Styrofoam which doesn't amount to much at all.
Don't forget if installing tanks to also install a vent stack in each grey and black tank, vents can be 1 1/2" pipe and you want to take it up to the roof. Failure to do that would not be pretty.
