Re: [VAL] Potable water tank is Galvanized?



I hadn't though about that.  But your right. If only air is in that tank and
if it has a catastrophic failure. it would blow out windows and do some
major dammage inside the camper.
I will keep that in mind during the inspection and testing of the tank.

Thanks.
