Frequently Asked Questions
Will this tank fit my pop-up camper or micro RV?
The 261BLANK is designed specifically for the smallest RVs, pop-up campers, and micro travel trailers. Measure your existing tank compartment (20.75" x 16" x 9") and verify drain location before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
Is 12 gallons enough capacity?
For pop-up campers and micro RVs with 1-2 occupants on weekend trips, 12 gallons provides adequate capacity. For longer trips or more occupants, you may need to dump more frequently or consider a larger tank if space allows.
