Expert Reply:

The only reason mounting the Valterra RV Water Tank # R8048 would be challenging would be the drain hole location. If you could come up with a way for it to be accessed on the bottom of it when vertical this would work just fine. Maybe have a hole cut in the floor so that the line ran to it would go through the floor.
