Second Water Tank

Submitted: Monday, Jan 01, 2007 at 13:20

Has anyone fitted a second water tank to their Goldstream Camper? It appears that with the four of us in the camper that the single water tank isn't enough and l would like to fit another one underneath. Whilst l don't think it will be hard to do I would like to save myself any unnecessary problems etc. if I can learn from others experiences.

Hi Steven, I am going to do the same with my Goldstream. I think Doggy Tease
has put an extra one on his Jayco. Should be much the same. He is away at the moment. I have also looked at putting tanks under the tray infront on the guards.
Not much help but will be interested in any answers.

Steven, Happy New Year!!

I picked up a 2nd hand Goldstream Wing II, in November, it came already fitted with two water tanks.

They look to be the 63 litre size (126l total capacity), one is fitted behind the the axle, & the other is in front.

It looks as if this was done by the factory, the original owners had a lot of modifications done when ordering it.

My main concern would be getting the weight distribution right, & emptying them evenly.

Each water tank has it's own filler & drain taps, inside is a "Y" valve with shut-off's to each tank before being plumbed to the water pump.

I hope this helps, let me know if you need more info'.

Thanks Jeff, if by chance you were ever milling around under your camper with a digital camera in hand l would appreciate a couple of photos if possible. I'm intrigued when you say they have separate fillers as l cant imagine why? That's not to say there isn't a very good reason. Do you have to switch tanks over with this Y valve or does that direct the water through a single filling point down to each tank?

Steven, the "Y" fitting is so that you can pump from either the front tank, the rear one or both.

Can't work out how to insert photos, I'll put them on my Members rigs section.
