Hi Brian - yes the 2 tanks are identical. The second is fitted behind the 'axle'.
There is only 1filler, with a 'Y' connecting the 2 pipes into one near the filler.
The two tanks are also connected together by normal garden hose - as follows:
The base of each tank has 2 outlet holes. If only 1 tank is fitted, a hose goes from one outlet to the pump. The other outlet has a drain plug in it.
With 2 tanks, the drain plug is replaced by a connecting hose which goes to the second tank. The drain plug then goes in the 2nd outlet of the 2nd tank.
The hot water system is brilliant. Runs on gas or 240V.
The brand of ours is Carver - model Australian Cascade 2 plus.
All the user sees is a small plate with two buttons (one for on, one for off) and a green led light. Thats it. No gas lighter or switch or anything.
It connects to the battery. When you turn the hot
water tap on, out comes hot water. ( The clicking sound when the hot tap is on, would suggest a pizo electric lighter is triggered into the gas by a flow switch in the water line).
The hot water is also connected to the built in shower, but even with a water saver head it can use the
water supply up. Since it _Affordable_Storage_Drawers.aspx your drinking water, we have bought a 12V shower, and fill cold water from river/creek/tank etc, and only add a kettle of hot water to warm it up. This works
well.
All this comes fitted standard from the factory. I would hate to see the price of a new model with these options................Regards............Keith
