black water tank replacement
Just bought a 1974 Prowler, the black water tank is cracked beyond repair, I would like to build a custom stainless steel replacement, will that work or do I need to replace with a plastic one? Thank...

Actually, installing bulkhead fittings in a metal tank makes transition to any other plumbing material easy.
The closet flange in all the trailers I've seen have an intermediate piece of pipe between tank and flange. One would have to have a tank at floor height to have a closet flange directly on the tank.
But that there is an ABS fitting that is glued onto the tank, and the ABS pipe or flange is connected to that. IIRCC, on mine it was glued and inserted into the ABS fitting on the tank.
Not sure how else it could be done, as you are working thru the hole in the floor that the toilet uses.
Now on a new build, there could be other options.
