Holding Tank
What is the best place to purchase or have made a new holding tank for my tri-cabin? It is 30Lx22Wx14H should be about 40 gallons. I want one that uses a dip tube from the top for clean vacuum.

Re: Holding Tank
I have had good luck with Ardemco. They will put the fittings where you want them. You should think about putting in 2 vents while you are having a new tank put in. I like 2 1" to 1 1/2" vents, one going to each side of the boat. It will get more oxygen into the tank and help control the anerobic smells.

Re: Holding Tank
If it comes via truck freight, inspect it very very carefully before signing for it. Unwrap it, use a flash light, look at the bottom -- everything. Can you tell I've had experience in this matter?
I needed a less expensive hobby, so I bought a boat!
