So does anyone out there have the original fresh water tank for 19’ Shasta Deluxes’?
It is the round cylindrical 20 gal tank around 30” long x14” wide.
I need the length of the water filler neck that is welded to the top of the tank please.
I am having one made that will be pressurized.
Thanks

In my past trailers, the pipe welded to the tank was a normal plumbing size made to length. Place your tank and measure so that your outside fitting will snug up to the skin. Also, install a wood backer to support the fitting.

Would love to see pix of the custom made pressure tank when complete.
Cheers,
Rod

Will do. Manufacturer is local and he can pressurize the tank. I thought 90 lbs would be enough if I used air to blow it out. I am going with stainless.
The one measurement I don’t have is the length of the filler neck pipe that is welded to the tank and goes to the trailer skin.

All trailers are different; even same model Shastas. The only way I know to get an exact measurement is to place the tank and measure. You could also estimate the pipe length and adjust the tank placement to fit after placing the fill where it belongs.

Thanks V. I made a mock up replica with cardboard and poster board. I have a rough measurement now and where to put it. I had thought to make the pipe a little longer then put it in the trailer and mark the correct length and then go back and have them cut it and thread it.

Update: Having the fresh water tank made. Going to be stainless and 20 gal. Same size as original. Will be pressurized up to 90lbs. Thanks to V, I was able to find a filler neck I can air pressurize. Will take pics once they make it.
