Class A's with big fresh water capacity

In my previous post I mentioned our 2013 Adventurer had an 80 gallon fresh water tank. That is the number published in the 2013 brochure. However today I was looking through the spec sheet for our motorhome and see the fresh water capacity is listed at 88 gallons.

I believe 80 gallons is accurate for motorhomes made prior to Oct. 1 2013. Those made after Oct. 1 2013 were redesigned to look like the 2014 models. The larger fresh water tank was part of the redesign.

With my make, Amer Coach, the trend is down for fresh water capacity. Back in '08 capacity was 120 gallons, my '14 holds 90.

That could be because the Eagle has a lot of heavy amenities added to those coaches. It probably has granite counter tops instead of Corian. Those are pretty well made coaches. And since they have added a lot of heavy equipment, they had to cut down some where else and the water tank was one of them. Even though I am surprised at your post. I would have thought that a top coach like a Eagle would have had at least a 100 gallon water tank.

100 gallon fresh water tank in mine.

Any class A manufacturers and models that tend to have larger fresh water capacities?

Am looking for 28-32 'ish with as much fresh capacity I can get, preferably 80-100 gal.

The older 32' Southwinds like mine have 100 gal + 10 gal more in the water heater. You go to the 05' models and it drops down to 80 gal.

I was looking for high h2o capacity as well, we mostly dri-camp with 5 people for 3-5 days. Other options are to get a water bag and place it under the bed and plumb it in, potential for another 45 gal.

My old rig has a 100 gallon tank under the bed, but I rarely carry more than I need for the road (10-20 gallons). After towing it a while, that becomes some expensive water!

Usually the water tank size on a motor home depends on the size rated on the axles. The bigger the coach, the more weight it can carry, so they have bigger water, black and grey tanks. The shorter motor homes have smaller axles and can not carry real heavy water tanks.

Take a look at the Jayco Precept 31ul or their other Precept models. All have 71.5 gallon fresh water holding tanks.

Just like 96Bounder 30E, we purchased a 95 32H Bounder with a 100 gallon fresh water tank. Big fresh water tanks used to be one of Fleetwood's calling cards. Looks like some of the new Bounders still have 100 gallons fresh water tanks.

My 83 Wanderlodge FC holds 100.
