Will The Valterra Fresh Water Tanks Work With RV Showers
Question:
Im a non-expert refurbishing a 1950s camper/trailer with no water tanks. Im envisioning fresh water tank that will serve the kitchen, bath and shower. Your tanks all seem to say no electric water pump. Does this mean your tanks wont work since a shower must be pump fed? Thanks!

Since the Valterra Fresh Water Tanks we carry like the # R8018 are not for use with an electric pump you would have to install a hand pump to feed the shower in the trailer you're renovating which would technically work, but would make showering quite a process unless you had someone else there to work the hand pump.

So regarding the pump/shower/tank question. Do you sell water tanks that can be used with an electric pump so that a shower can be non-hand-pumped (which would be quite the process...)? Mike
