Not sure just what you are doing here. Replacing the 90gal? Adding a manufactured house in addition to the existing one plus a second tank?
In any case, you don't have to get fancy assuming you are adding a second tank. Just tie it in at any convenient point, no check valve is necessary. The effect on operation is the same as doubling the size of your current tank, the pump will run twice as long when it starts but will run half as often. That is a "Good Thing" (tm) as it is the starting that causes mose motor wear.
