Water tank installed

[Ca. Bowhunter]

It's installed and works great we tried it out Friday and Saturday 160 miles of desert roads and no leaks. Found the tank on e-bay $25 a few miscellaneous fittings from a RV accessory store $30 and some 18 gauge sheet metal that we had laying around for protection and about 4 hours to figure it all out .

Do you have any other photos. particularly showing the relationship between the tank and axle? What trailer is it? Dimensions of tank? How many gallons?

 

[Ca. Bowhunter]

The trailer is a garage project, To keep the weight distribution right I had to mount the tank towards the rear of the box . The tank holds 18 gallons.

Is the tank just gravity fedto the spigot?

Right on. The new tent looks great on there. Congrats on fresh water and the sleeping arrangements.

Ok, I'll bite, where do you fill it up?

Also, +1 on the gravity fed question...

I love the idea of having a water tank built into the trailer...


Thanks,
