Lots of interesting information, but one that I'm wondering about (because I had considered doing it too), is the suggestion on OO Land Line of using one of the fuel tanks for water. Is that really practical? 120 gallons of water is going to weigh 1000 lbs. With both tanks full you will be fairly well balanced, but as you use water or fuel your center of gravity is going to shift significantly. I have seen a lot of discussion of front/back weights. How much thought has everyone been putting into side to side or corner balance?

Since it wouldn't actually be possible to reuse that fuel tank anyway (for fresh water, I suppose you could clean it and use it for gray), I thought about selling off the 120 gallon tanks and installing a pair of 75s instead. Even at a total of 150 gallons, that's pretty long legs when you're used to stopping every 300 miles or so.
