Old fresh water tank spout replacement help
Hi I’m new here but hoping to get a little help on an issue. I’m a new rv owner. I bought an old 1970s holiday rambler 25’ trailer for dirt cheap and am restoring it. Not having much experience wit...

I remember those types of fresh water systems from long ago. The fill cap on the outside of the trailer typically had a PSI gauge built into it. I would be very cautious about pressuring a 40+ year old tank like that. A tank that I can guarantee you nobody has ever given a second thought to inspecting or testing, and probably never had any type of corrosion prevention, like an anode.
In my opinion, you have two options. Either retain the metal cylinder and convert it to a demand system, which will require fixing the water leaks and installing a demand type water pump at minimum. Or, replace the entire system with a new plastic tank and a demand pump.
I would replace it with a new tank and demand pump, myself.
