Why Choose Elkhart Plastics Holding Tanks?
Elkhart Plastics has been the trusted name in RV waste tank manufacturing for decades. Every holding tank is engineered to meet strict quality and safety standards, ensuring reliable performance even in the harshest conditions.
✓ Heavy-Duty Black Polyethylene Construction
Manufactured from premium black high-density polyethylene with 0.180" wall thickness. The black color helps prevent algae growth and provides superior UV resistance for tanks mounted in exposed areas. This material is specifically formulated to handle the demands of waste storage.
✓ Seamless Rotational Molding Process
Elkhart Plastics uses advanced roto-molding technology where high-density plastic is rotated and molded into a single, seamless piece. This creates uniform wall thickness throughout the entire tank with no weak spots, seams, or joints that could leak or fail over time.
✓ Built to Withstand Road Vibration & Impact
Engineered to handle the constant bumps, vibrations, and temperature changes of life on the road. The thick walls and seamless construction provide exceptional impact resistance and leak-proof reliability that outlasts typical replacement tanks.
✓ 3" Outlet for Efficient Drainage
Features a 3" outlet opening for fast, efficient waste drainage. This standard size is compatible with most RV waste valves and sewer hose systems.
