I went to a local established RV builder, John Marshall...he has a set up that he uses to test the tanks...no balloons required, just air, a low pressure gauge and soap.

Congrats, but the true test comes when you put gas in it. Ask me how I know! Getting the tanks done is a big accomplishment though and now I suspect that you will see your wings come together fairly quickly.
