I installed this tank in my Sprinter van RV conversion project. It has functioned very well, and is well made. I have it tucked into the back of a floor height cabinet, and is hooked up to a to a pump and my sink. I took a bit to get around to installing it after I bought it, but I have been using it for months and it is great!

See what our Experts say about this Valterra RV Fresh Water Tank
- Can Electric Pump be Used With Valterra RV Water TankAn electric water pump should not be used for filling or pulling water out of the Valterra RV Water Tank # R8042, according to the manufacturer. This is designed by the manufacturer as a "low pressure application only." I have added a link to a video review of this tank for you to check out, as well as a link to our entire selection of fresh water tanks, which have a range of 4-1/2 to 36 gallon capacities.

If you do have a water pump you want to reach out to Coleman directly or to a local RV dealership as they should be able to get a replacement fresh water tank that is rated for use with electric pumps. If you do have a hand pump setup then I've attached a link to our tank options below as well...

Keep in mind we don't have every axle configuration so you may have to find a local trailer shop to you who can order axles. For example, the part # T3584F-EZ-8974 is a 3,500 lb axle that has a distance of 89 inches from hub face to hub face and 74 inches between...

One hole is already cut out with a red plug but the rest would require you to drilling out the hole before attaching your plumbing to the tank. To mount the tank most RV manufacturers just fabricate a bracket to mount the tank to the frame. On the trailers I work on here there's usually a large U-shaped strip of metal around the tank that's simply bolted onto the frame with...

To install a valve or hose on this tank you would simply need to use the existing opening or pop out a different one to fit your application and use the Solvent to glue it into place in the opening.
