Woods do you have a sprayer or any thing attdhed to the end hose? where did you get the air vent from?
I would try to get it under the trailer.. These things break, and alot easier than most think. In the box if they are not protected, something hitting them when they are full or cold can split them very easily. Plus you are out of water and everything is soaked.
Should be room under the trailer, you can buy any size you want from plastic mart on line. they will build it to your specification and put the vents, drains where ever you want them.

I dont think I have enough clearance.
The vent is a drain cock. You should be able to get one at your local blue or orange borg.
I have a a hose that connects to the fitting at the top left of the pictures. This hose runs to my hot and cold water for my galley.

You have already bought the tank, sorry I missed that. I have two 11 gallon tanks under my trailer. They are 5 inches thick, 22 inches wide and 38 long. The lower the water the better for stability on tough trails. Mine set right above my axle, which helps protect them. On the production trailers, I will have skid plates, but they are 24 inches above ground, so feel safe with them. I think there are pictures of the tanks within the first couple of pictures in my build thread.
If you are stuck with what you have, I would put it in front of the box some how to centralize the water weight. If you have batteries up front, then maybe on the rear somewhere to equalize weight. I need to go back and look at your build again. I watched it develop, but have forgotten the whole set up plan.

30 gallon tank from ebay 12 volt pump from Hf
al mounted on a cradle that is removable. the braided line to the outside hose bib is
a faucet supply line. need to add a pet cock to relieve the pressure. No implosions of the tank.
Woods Love your flip open kitchen! "I may have to steal that idea!"

I only have 13 inches of ground clearance.
How about thick wall PVC pipe ?? 6",8" or 10" or ?? Capped at whatever length works for the trailer... I'd like two (one each on the inboard side of the frame) tied together with flexible hose going to a pump... Would there be any different water quality issues ?? Weight might be a slight concern...
