We had a mobile tech come and give us an estimate of $450. He would remount the tank under its angle iron then run one or two (I can't recall) reinforcing straps under all three tanks then re-fasten the belly skin.

One or two reinforcing straps are not going to do much at all to keep the tanks from drooping. Adding a piece of 1/2" plywood between the tank and the reinforcing straps will help considerably to keep the tank from drooping. I would definitely recommend adding a piece of plywood for the freshwater tank at least.
I didn't expose the black and grey water tanks on my trailer so I don't have any recommendations for them.
