The fiberglass blackwater tank on our 1960 Shasta Deluxe leaks. It worked well holding some critter's hickory nuts, but with less than a gallon of water, it started leaking in multiple places. Any ideas on where to get a replacement? Its an odd shape - The top portion is 12"wx16"lx8"deep, the bottom portion is 6.5"wx16"lx7" deep. Looks sort of like an upside down L. If my calculations are right it would have been a 15 gal. tank. If I just used a rectangular tank I could get 12 gal. Not very big though.
Thanks, Dana

I removed mine and went with a porta potty. Much cleaner to dump and no worries about sewer hoses, dump valves, etc. The valve on our 57 Deluxe was way close to the ground as well. Not to mention it weighed a ton-the tee was cast iron.
I got a quote for a custom tank for $400...

Great idea. We knew we would have to replace the cast iron because it was completely rusted out in a couple of places. As we found it, only the kitchen sink (cold water only) was still attached, and it was draining freely to outside. What kind of port-a-potty did you end up getting?

I sold the trailer and believe they went with a Thetford Curve. Check out the reviews, they're pretty popular.
