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 ...

Here are a few quick pictures of the larger tank install. I know it isn't the most economical solution, but I don't want to have to pack any extra containers and have to deal with filling it up when low. This way I can fill it before I leave my house, and not worry.
Original 20 gallon tank under the bed, next to the flip up storage.
New 50 gallon tank vs old 20 gallon tank.
New tank in place, barely fits.
BTW, for those saying this is too much of a pain in the ass, if I was not doing the grey water recycle system I would have literally had to buy this tank, and a few fittings from Home Depot as the fill is a different type of fitting. So I had to remove a divider, pull the old tank, buy a new fitting for the fill, and put it back in. Not a pita at all. Obviously this will very by trailer, just my experience.
