Does anyone know of a good company that makes custom holding tanks? Have an odd size that I need made.

I checked miller and they want $1500 to start fabrication of a custom tank. I will call to clarify.
All-rite wants $570 to start. I will call anyway.

Finding a pre-made tank with the exact same dimensions probably won't happen but take a look here and maybe something with a sloped end like some shown in the line drawings would work. www.tank-depot.com/product.aspx?id=1164&page=7or give up a little capacity and just get a simple square/rectangular version and save a ton of $. Can you expand the size in another direction to maintain capacity and avoid the need for the L shape? Amazon has quite a few pre-made options that are inexpensive with low shipping costs. Good luck :-) |

Not much room to expand. Might have to look at a smaller tank. I might try a few calls tomorrow.

I had a custom tank made once. Boy was that expensive. If I remember correctly it cost $1800. This was a fresh water tank for a Prowler bumper pull. I think the trailer was about 20 years old. I replaced the refrigerator also and it was the same price as the custom fresh water tank...

Ditto. You don’t have to deal with a dump hose. |

Hi Friends,
My inexperience with tanks will show, but what about having a tank made of galvanized steel. I am thinking of the old freshwater tanks found in canned hams, but wondering if a new one could be made that could be used for black water tanks.

The acids and stuff involved with septic will eat away at a metal tank. And probably much harder to clean. Yuk. |

ALL of the metal holding tanks I've encountered have been rotted/rusted thru.
