Replace fresh water tank

Those of you that have replaced your tank yourself, where did you purchase your replacement tank? Do they come with fittings or do you have to drill them in? This is my next project.

You can get them about anywhere. If you want the same tank sizing, it may take longer to track one down. You can also get one from Forest River but get a shipping cost before you buy it as Forest River is very steep on their shipping charges. Depending where you buy the tank, it'll have standard connections or maybe a blank tank. Also they don't normally come with tank sensors installed. I'm getting a new water tank for my trailer from Forest River while I'm in Indiana in two weeks. The tank for my trailer is a 50 gallon W1165 28"W x 55"L x 8.375"D and cost is $114.92. Your's may not be the same tank as your trailer is a few years older. Scottz on here replaced his old tank style with a current tank style on his trailer. His post is here http://www.wildcatcamperforum.com/t2912-water-tank-project?highlight=tank

My tank sits on angle iron with nothing between the tank and the irons. So the tank has sagged badly down between the irons and is pushing my underbelly down. I'll pull it out, add 1/2 plywood between the tank and angle irons and the tank will be fully supported. I'll do a post with pics once I get the tank and do the job.

I bought mine from FR; by far the cheapest I found. Watch out for the shipping though!!!! Get a quote first. All fittings factory attached.
