    Dirtytires Valterra makes an 18 gallon tank that measures 8x16x36.
    All their tanks are 8x16 the lenght changes depending on gallons.
    The 18 gal. ranges from $69.00 to $104.00 depending what site you find. I'll PM you a site that has them for the lower price after work.

    Got a nice all important little piece of the trailer in the mail this day..
    The all imortant bottle opener.. yeah. I was looking at homes all day today
    so I did not do anything with the trailer. I did however get some water
    sealing done yesterday. best time to seal it was when it was raining.

    Mark. thanks.
    We have had a lot of activity on ours but no contract on it yet. Seems like everyone likes the house
    but doesnt care for the neighborhood. The house that I put a contract on was counteroffered by
    the current owner, and he had no desire t meet in the middle , so I walked away from the table, so
    to speak. I had no desire to pay more for the house than what it would appraise for.

    Took some measurements to have a rack for the top welded.
    Washed all the pollen and junk of it, parked it in the shade and going to wax
    it later tonight. Ordered a new 12 gallon water tank, this one will fit the trailer,
    with no clearance issues, and since there was a fuel tank mounted prior, I am
    able to use the same same mountings as the fuel tank. Yeahh me.

    Picked up some amber marking lights for the front of the trailer.
    Installed and wired them. I want to upgrade the plate light so it is
    more visible for highway and road use.
