Why Choose This Elkhart Plastics Holding Tank?
Industry-Leading Quality: Elkhart Plastics has been manufacturing premium RV holding tanks for decades, with a reputation for quality and reliability that's trusted by RV manufacturers and owners nationwide. This tank meets or exceeds OEM standards.
Seamless Construction Advantage: The advanced rotational molding process creates a single-piece tank with uniform wall thickness throughout. Unlike welded or seamed tanks, there are no weak points where leaks can develop over time, ensuring long-lasting, leak-proof performance.
Built for the Road: The heavy-duty 0.180" wall thickness and impact-resistant polyethylene construction withstand years of road vibration, temperature changes, and regular use without cracking or failing. This tank is engineered to handle the demands of life on the road.
Optimal Capacity: 32 gallons provides the perfect balance between capacity and space efficiency for most RV applications, offering extended use between dump station visits without taking up excessive space.
Installation & Maintenance
This 32-gallon tank is designed to fit standard RV mounting configurations with its 26" x 19" x 21.25" dimensions. The blank tank configuration allows you to install custom fittings that match your specific RV plumbing system.
Installation Tips: At approximately 25 lbs empty, this tank is manageable for installation but will require proper support when full (32 gallons = approximately 267 lbs). Ensure your mounting location can support the full weight. Professional installation is recommended if you're not experienced with RV plumbing systems.
Manufacturing Note: The sealed hole on top of the tank is from the rotational molding manufacturing process. It's a venting hole used during tank creation and has no functional use for the end-user. This is normal and does not affect tank performance or integrity.
Maintenance: Use quality RV holding tank treatment to break down waste and control odors. Rinse tanks thoroughly after dumping to prevent buildup. Keep tanks at least 1/3 full when traveling to maintain proper sensor function. Inspect fittings and seals annually for signs of wear.
