Second fresh water tank

I was thinking about adding a second water tank between the frame rails on my Georgetown. It doesn't have to be big, I am thinking 30 or 40 gal. I know that tanks can be bought almost any dimension.
There is room but I have to be able to get past the driveshaft. I could drop the driveshaft if i had to.
So just wondering who has done this? Thanks for any suggestions or ideas?

I have not done it on a Georgetown but have done it on 3 different Hybrid TT's. Not very hard to do. I install a 3 way valve in an accessible location on the suction lines. The one on the right is the factory one, the one to the left is the added one. Both are 39 gallon. The added one is an Alpha Systems VB28446W and it comes with all the spin fittings installed. 1/2NPT for drain, suction, and vent and 1 1/4" slip connection for fill tube.

Thanks for the information. The 6" depth is good. I know I have at least 10" of space. I can get to my pump very easy and could plumb it up with the 3 way valve like you said. I should have added the tank long ago. Wish I would have known it was easy.
