That will work right up until the time it rips the bumper off. An RV bumper is not intended to carry any additional weight.

I'm just going to use it to store the hitch, in a vertical orientation.

I store a plastic ammo box from Wally Wold behind the spare. Only has room for the clear 45* elbow and the part that screws into the ground. It has air holes drilled into it and is strapped with hose clamps.

Oh that's a good idea too.
But I was wondering about the tank itself. Think I've seen them vertical on top of the bumper but it must be held by something.

I have not done this yet but plan to. I have seen others that use a cheap hand truck (like delivery people use for several boxes) with the wheels removed and then mounted to the bumper. The empty tank can then be secured to the hand truck with straps or even bungee cords.

I was just gonna, say, you mean an empty tank, like a blue buddy right? I wouldn't store a full one...
...Anywhere!!!
You could make a unistrut bracket to store that tank under if you have enough ground clearance.
