[VAL] Water tank source?
A few dozen miles on dirt and gravel roads, an improperly repaired leak,
and years of neglect before I adopted my 71 Tradewind all conspired to
cause the fresh water tank to leave the trailer last week. The 1-1/4"
plywood sheet under it had almost completely rotted out and, saturated
with water, was no longer able to hold it in. So the last few days of a
trip to some remote mountaintop radio sites were spent without water as
I made good on my promise and pulled it all out in preparation for
replacing it. The leak was apparently in the same place it usually is;
the corner of the tank just above where the fill tube fitting attaches.
I don't find an exact replacement for this tank on the Inca page. Any
recommendations for other sources?
