Why Choose the Alpha 181BLANK Fresh Water Tank?

Stain, Corrosion, and Rust Resistant
Built to last for years of hard use, the 181BLANK resists stains, corrosion, and rust even in harsh conditions. The durable polyethylene material stays clean and functional season after season, ensuring your water stays fresh and your tank stays dependable.
Ultra-Compact Design for Extreme Space Constraints
With just 8 gallons of capacity in a compact 20" x 10" x 10" footprint, this tank is ideal for the smallest RVs, camper vans, teardrop trailers, or any installation where every inch of space counts. Get reliable water storage without sacrificing valuable compartment space.
