Re: [VAL] Potable water tank is Galvanized?



I think your right 50 psi is normal pressure so 75 would be a proper
hydrostatic test. But I'm starting low and see how it goes.  I expect it to
fail the 5 psi test anyway. I will be ecstatics if it passes. I will faint
dead away if it makes it up to the 50 psi with it full of water.
Thanks everyone.  I'm going to be picking it up from the POs house tomorrow
afternoon.  I'm all excited.  Got LOTs to do before it is ready to go
camping.  Gotta get it to pass the Kentucky Fire marshal inspection and it
could be a while before I can get it to the point of passing. Bumper is
loose, Brakes don't work, Shocks are shot, 120 Volt wiring is not safe, 12
volt (marker lights) need work, Plumbing, etc...
For plumbing, electrical and propane, it either has to be not there in its
entirety or caped or fully functional and safe. Some of it will be caped and
some fixed or replaced.

Wish me luck.
