Relocating fresh water tank
I liked the layout of the Rialta, but the prices are ridiculous and repairs and parts are out of hand. The final straw for me was someone on a trip needed a transmission rebuilt, the transmission was $5000 and they were told they could pick it up in the spring!! The money is bad enough, but come back in the spring, not what I want to deal with.
Looking at the Toy if I could install 2 captains chairs where the sofa is would be ideal for me, the ability to transport 4 adults in comfort. Plus nice comfortable seat's for the wife and I.
But there is that pesky water tank. I am in a holding pattern here waiting for various things to be delivered so decided to do some experimenting.
I explored various areas and looked at what was available in sized tanks for reasonable money. I hoped to upgrade to a 30 gallon tank, but would have to spend far more on a tank than an extra 10 gallons is worth. I settled on a surplus 21 gallon tank with fittings for $40 that will fit the available space.
I built a mock up of the tank and it appears to be a good fit. I now need to fabricate something to hold the tank and route some plumbing to it. But will wait until the tank is delivered to be double sure.
This could all blow up in my face as I do not have a super computer with CAD to help me along. However it will not be the first time I have made a mess.
Any thoughts, ideas, input, suggestions, wise cracks always greatly appreciated. JIm SW FL
