I would suspect that you could have one built. I know there are custom builders there, a Mexican friend had a Ford Transit fan turned into an excellent Class B down there. The work was done by a company that makes and modifies limos and luxury private buses.
You might also try some of the marinas, Puerto Vallarta is relatively close and has several large marine companies.
You might also call Tacho's RV park there--he may know if or be able to find something in PV.
I have a good friend who lives in PV and has been sailing and working there for decades. I just left him a message on his cell phone(Thank God for Skype) and I will call him back later today. He can be hard to get hold of sometimes. You would have thought he would have slowed down a little after his 70th birthday!
UPDATE
Just heard back from my Bill friend in PV. There is a large marine store in PV called Zaragosa Marine that may be able to steer you in the right direction though they don't do repairs. Another possibility is Opequimar (sp?) in PV
However Bill suggests that there should many more resources in Guadalajara than in Puerto Vallarta. You may be able to get the tank repaired using "plastic welding" though the fibreglass may interfere with that. There are many thousands of plastic water storage tanks around, someone must repair them.
Good luck and please let us know how you make out.
