Mike-
I sure am glad that you could fix and re-use your tank set-up. I also liked the pressurized system because it would hold pressure for a full day without running the pump. I had talked to old timers through the years and always heard that patches would not hold on the old glass lined tanks. I am not sure if that is true or not but my tank was a green color unlike your stainless tanks. I could imagine that my tank was full of rust because I could see the flakes when I winterized and drained the system. Since I only had the single 30 gal tank, it was nice to upgrade to the 40 gallon demand. The thing that I dreaded the most is already bugging me! That pump is so loud and the constant on and off will drive a person crazy. I did make sure my pipes were attached secrely to the walls and plan to build an insulated box to put over the pump which is directly under the bed. I am pleased that I could retain the original fill pipe from the outside. I try to keep everything as original as possible. My coleman air pump was the original and worked perfect. I just gave it away to my RV mechanic who will come out and help me with things on the trailer. He appreciates the older trailers the way we do.
