I boondock 100%. I have been traveling with full tanks over 25 years. My momentum holds 155 gallons FW. I will travel with full tanks. I have had the under belly off for another reason, and I was satsified with the install on the FW tanks.

Why would they put such large tanks if it's not recommended to travel with water? Isn't that the whole idea of them, to BRING water with you becauseyou won't have water where you're going, i.e. travel with full tank. Are you not supposed to travel with Grey or black tanks full at all?
FWIW, I have over 7,000 miles on my trailer in 5 months, and mearly all travel has been with fresh water, usually pretty close to full or at least 50% full. No issues yet and have 155 gallon tank. It does eat up payload though.

That is not what I meant. Yes the tank sits on straps that are attached to steel frame. Above the tank is the main floor and that main floor is supported by aluminum tubing. The tank can bounce up or down when you hit some rough areas of roads. And may damage those areas above it or suspension below.

Nice clean looking work! Grand Design should take a lesson about tank support from you. Once you get the coroplast back up make up a bracket to fit your needs and relocated your freshwater tank dump valve to a more convenient access point. I extended my drain and located it behind the rear landing gear. I also extended the overflow pipe and added a valve to shut off while traveling so I don't loose any freshwater.
