Class A's with big fresh water capacity

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.

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.

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.

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.

Our 2013 Winnebago Adventurer 32H has an 80 gallon fresh water capacity plus a 10 gallon water heater. The 2014 32H has the same capacity. The 2015 and 2016 Adventurer 32D have been downsized to 58 gallons.

The 2013 Winnebago Sightseer 30A has an 86 gallon capacity while the 33C has a 79 gallon capacity. The 2014 30A has an 80 gallon capacity while the 33C has a 73 gallon capacity

My 32 foot Bounder has 75 gal, my last motorhome 25Y Flair had 100 gal..


my first MH was a Flair 25Y. mine had twin beds and there was one huge fresh water tank under one of the beds. I thought it was 70 gallons but perhaps with one queen bed it would have been bigger?
sort of liked that unit.

The biggest reason that we bought our below entry level 30' bounder was because it was equipped with a 100 gallon fresh water tank..... Love it!

I had a 32 foot Rexhall Aerbus gas model that had a 100 gallon water tank. It was a 2001 model. Only bad thing is the water tank was under the bed at the far rear end of the motorhome behind the axle. You could really feel it when driving when the water tank was full.
