We ended up going with two smaller 15 gallon barker tanks instead of one big one. The weight of one full 15 gallon is 135 lbs, which I can get into the truck bed.

After having to setup/dump/load/drive/dump several times in one weekend, I realized that the second tote would have saved me about 20 - 30 minutes of setup and drive time over that weekend. That's a good enough percentage of a camping weekend to justify the second tote.
