Wouldn't you want all that water weight as far forward as possible? 325lbs or so with the tank.
Where do the batteries, black&grey, propane go?
No no no. :D
Go back a long time ago in the thread where we discussed loading on the Isuzu flatbed truck. It has much more available capacity (over 7000 pounds still available) for the dually rear axle. The flatbed is 20 feet long and the base of the camper not counting the 6 foot overhang is 11 feet. The water tank, gray water tank and batteries are and should be in the back, close to the rear axle. The propane is going under the flatbed of the truck somewhere (plenty of room but haven't designed a particular position yet). There is no black tank, just the cassette for the Thetford C403 toilet.
Edit: Oh it may not have been clear in the picture, but the gray water tank is sitting on top of the fresh water tank (actually sitting on a 1 inch plywood table built a couple of inches above the fresh water tank). Each tank is about 9 inches high and 16 inches wide. The sink will be somewhat in the center above the gray water tank in the rear counter and will dump into the tank via a special type of water trap that doesn't use a u-bend and standing water.
As a reminder, this is what the camper will look like on the truck, without the garage pod on the back:
