Those would be great and are easy to stash, but how are you transferring to the fresh tank? I'm trying to avoid pouring. I suppose it wouldn't be difficult to rig up a pump though.

I used to carry the 35 gallon on the front rack but moved it to my roof and did away with the 12v transfer pump.

Mine has a roof rack too, but it's already so ass heavy I don't dare put anything back there. That didn't throw your balance off? Hell, right now the camper looks to be riding nose up in the truck. It makes me wonder why.
