Does it matter who did what? Dougrainer had the fix, if it can just be recognized. I would think that trying to change-out the fresh water tank, would be a major job to tackle unless you are the size of an 8 year old, to be able to get into the basement to disconnect the plumbing, and reconnect it.
My fresh water tank is very easy to get to, and the Spinweld thing is a shop repair, can't be done in the coach..SO.... if I'm going to pull it. why fix it when a new one is less money?
The repair would be, remove the tank, drill the three holes out to 1/2" buy 3, 1/2" pipe threaded fittings, have them spin welded in and place threaded plugs installed.
Problem is, the three holes are too near the corner of the tank bottom.
threaded screws with rubber washers won't work because there isn't a flat surface to seat the rubber washer, the holes are on/in the radius of the bottom to side corner.
