Hi everyone, I have been asked by a friend who is currently in the Flinders Ranges with a broken water tank to get one made for him and ship it across to him. Does anyone know who makes this kind of thing in Melbourne.
Thanks
Viv

Hi , It would be unlikely to get a custom plastic unit made as they are either blow moulded or rotational moulded that require tooling for each style of tank. There are plenty of caravan and camper outlets that carry standard tanks that should fit the purpose. Michael

Hi Viv...
My brother-in-law has just had two custom made for a bus, he is converting into a motorhome. I am fairly sure the brand was Atlas and I think they were from Qld. I am going there today to work on the bus, will confirm details and advise tonight.
Regards
Neil

Rays outdoors sells plastic water tanks for about $80 from memory, they were 60L and had fittings for hoses

Not sure on the mesurments but would be good to fit under a caravan or camper. Hope this helps
Cheers Luke
