    Ronco or Plastic mart have hundreds of different tanks, that can have fittings spun. I would stay away from the ABS tank, it is meant to be in an enclosed area, above the floor.

    My trailers now have 41 gallons of water on board, located just above the axle, which feeds on demand to a standard RV water heater with automatic pilot light.

    You do not want the tanks hanging below the axle or where it can catch a rock and rip the whole thing off. I would try to keep it within the frame rails and even with the lowest part of the frame, protected on all sides.

    Default 33 gallons



    I have 27 gallons below the trailer with a six gallon water heater. My only mistake is mounting it forward of the axel instead of directly over the axel. I am a little too heavy on the tongue now.

    Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"
