I can't imagine the angle-iron braces bolted and welded to the frame, under the water tank, not being capable of supporting the weight of 20 gallons +/- of water, and yeah, I know that's 160-200# of added weight. The peace of mind in having this resource available far out-weighs the risks that are condemned by the "weight police".
Would suggest anyone consult their manufacturer's owners manual before loading the FW tank and traveling. Jayco manual for our new WhiteHawk states not to travel with any tank "loaded". I've done it with our fifth wheel, and I've done it twice with the WhiteHawk (full fresh water tank) and the tank hasn't popped out of the belly.........yet.:W
