Adding a second gas tank 1988 Travel Master
I have an 88 Travel Master (Now Coachman) which I bought and have been restoring for a year. I am road worthy but do not like the size of my gas tank. 36 gallons at 7 MPG gets me 200 miles and at 15...

We bought either the 87 or 88 new. At the time it was the largest in the line-up, maybe the "Signature?". It had the small gas tank as well. I found a 55 gallon tank designed for it. That was a long time ago and I don't remember the brand. I probably found an ad in a magazine and ordered it. I do seem to remember the tank may have "wrapped" around a frame crossmember towards the rear. I removed the OEM and replaced it with the 55 gal by myself. Several bottle jacks and lumber for cribbing it to lift the new one. I did have to get a new "O" ring for the fuel pump access ring. Never had any issues with it.
I would call every tank vendor you can think of and see if anyone remembers it.
edit add....we had to have a new modified black tank installed soon after the purchase. I can't remember the exact issue...maybe the toilet outlet pipe was too long...too close the bottom of the tank?? Might check that. It was a good RV. I saw one of the short ones at a NASCAR race last year.
I think ours was the last year for the C6 transmission. I didn't want to get the first year of the electronic overdrive. Fuel injected (I think) 460.
