I would make sure that your waste tanks have enough volume to hold the extra fresh water. You won't be drinking all the extra, likely going for showers, that's what i'd be using it for!!

Can’t you just dump that in your camping area???

My fresh is 40 gallons, my grey is 40 gallons and my black is 40 gallons. We like to use the outside shower to clean up before we go inside. We don't drink from the trailer, we take drinking water. We seem to always use up the fresh way before the grey or black fills up. Having extra water will get used for other things than just grey and black. Cleaning fish, putting out fires, cleaning tables and stuff outside.

Yes I can probably build you a tank, I would need all measurements that you want to achieve the finished size and then I would see if I could make it work with the moulds that I have. I was warning about price cuz its not plastic kinda price probably double at least.

Ok thanks. I think I`m going with the plastic one out of lacombe, I should be able to get everything set up for about $300( give or take a few dollars for odds and ends). An extra 40 gallons would have been nice for the long weekend.

I can`t do that I have a tidy tank for fuel on the truck. I just got my tank hooked up in my trailer today. I had D&M plastics make me a black tank in white plastic. Both tanks fill with one inlet and both drain at the same time. With both tanks being about the same size and dimensions, I will be using only gauges off the stock tanks. Also I was lucky enough to have the second tank fit over the axle, so I shouldn't`t lose much tongue weight.
