Hi all,
I am in Tassie at the moment and have found that we are using heaps of
water even when we try not to,we have a windsor rapid and I think it has an 80 LTR
tank under it ,now that I have installed an external shower and a suburbane HWS we seem to use it up fast,we are on the road for the next 9 months and I thought if I could fit a second
tank just for the trip that would be great ,I just got a price for an 86LTR fitted and was told about $700 which is not in my budget but when I got back to my
camp site I was told that My neighbour bought one for $10 and fitted it with stuff from Bunnings ,I checked it out and it all looked great so if anyone can help Im heading back on the main land in about a week or so and will be looking for second hand or if I have to a new
tank to fit myself, I just checked out some prices and they are about $120,any advice would be great.

The Caravan show is on at Caufiled race course next week, 9 - 14 March. They always have a couple of the big caravan accessory retailers there, and always seem to quite a few dollars cheaper at the show. I bought my second
water tank there a couple of years ago.

Also CAMEC online....they have various size tanks, and I got a 86 litre
tank late last year for around $130.00, plus some fitting from Bunnings. You do need to make your own straps though....as camec does not supply. (nor does any body that I contacted...)

Hi
John
Buy
tank from where ever.
To make brackets all you need is some 50x3mm flat mild steel, easy to bend in a vice, and some 50x50x3mm angle to bolt to caravan frame to bolt made up brackets to with fully threaded bolts.
If you need more help I can take pictures and draw mud map on paper and email if needed
Cheers
Charlie
