Hi, I have a 62 Oasis that did not have the original tank but had another one installed by the previous owner. The tank developed a crack in it and needs replacing... so i went to the local trailer supply place asking for a tank (21" X 21" X 12" high) that you can pressurize with a hand pump, and the dude behind the counter looked at me like I was as dumb as a sack of hammers. He said "no there is no such thing" and while trying to explain how it worked he said "NO NO NO Next in line" So, is there anyplace where I could buy or order something of this nature. I really don't want to put an electric 12 v pump in, as to me it makes more sense to just use a hand pump. Thanks in advance for any help.

All of the pressurized tanks I've seen have been either steel or aluminum. Some use a 12 volt air pump to pressurize, most had a hand pump by the sink. Also, they could be pressurized with a hose or compressor. There is a little air fitting on the fill.
If your parts are missing, why not use a Rocket hand pump with a line from a non-pressurized tank? The pump does all the work and it's less than paying for a fancy tank.

I have an aluminum pressurized water tank that came out of a 1970 Shasta Starflyte and I purchased a hand pump for it. I never installed it.
Not sure how many gallons the tank holds, but I believe it is about 12"-14" in diameter and about 4 1/2' long and it does hold pressure.
I am in North Carolina.
