Possible to install larger fresh water tank?
My 5er has an advertised fresh water capacity of 54 gallons. In doing a water test this past summer, in reality it only holds ~ 36 gallons. I called Forest River and they claimed it's actually a 40 ...

I searched the forum to see if this topic has been addressed before, and did not come up with anything.
Has anyone swapped out their fresh water tank for a larger one? Thanks!
Addressed before:
You prob didn't find any threads for that mod, as it's too much of a PITA. Owners reach this conclusion.......
Easier to add capacity via portable tank/s -or- a second tank mounted "somewhere" and pump from aux to main tank.
Regarding "search" - did you also check the archives? Standard search is for one year (only).
BTW - always "made do" with what I had, and as many have already said,
- unless boondocking (dry) - never been in a campground without access to water....either at the site, or somewhere in the campground.
Years ago with TTs camping in state parks, nat'l forest, etc. I carried 3 fifty foot sections of cheapie hose and a water thief.
Connect, fill, disconnect - during "quiet" times.
Good luck with your plans and/or water conservation!
