- naytherExplorerPlati-mend worked on mine. My upper corner split due to filling too fast and this pretty well did the trick.

Black ABS can be repaired with PlastiMend. Need to lightly sand the surface to clean/prepare and the sealant/solvent melts into and combines with the existing ABS same as joining waste pipes. For large issues or to provide support with a flex point that broke you may need to add some sheet ABS to strengthen the area. I have used PlastiMend on a corner flex point that was a bit thin and ripped from the fill/empty/fill cycle. Has held over five years. This after using several other 'solutions'.

Thanks I think I'll try that
Mine is on a corner like you said
I guess I'll sand off all the repairs I already tried and give that a shot
Thanks for the help on the converter wiring also, worked like a champ - Black ABS can be repaired with PlastiMend.

I called Ronco in Tustin and they have them for $514
I've tried a lot of fixes including plastic welding, water weld adhesive sealers, even 15 coats of flex seal
the only thing that remotely worked was some thick gooey duct sealer an AC friend gave me to try.
There is a guy near me that repairs tanks, do you think it could be repaired after all that stuff I applied to it? - darsben1ExplorerDo you have a size if so try EBAY first
second try http://bontragers.com/rv-supplies-accessories/ - BlackdiamondExplorerTry Warrior Lifestyles in Perris.
- Is the plastic milkish white? Needs to be 'welded' probably by a pro. Nothing really sticks to polyethylene or polypropylene.
