Why Was the EPI 0215H Discontinued?
The EPI 0215H's specific 40" x 14.5" x 8" dimensions served a niche in the RV market for narrow-width, long chassis applications. Elkhart Plastics has consolidated their product line to focus on more versatile tank configurations. The current alternatives listed above offer similar narrow-width designs with comparable or greater capacity and the same professional-grade construction quality.

- Need same 40" length? The EPI 0189H (40" x 14" x 11") maintains the same length with similar narrow width
- Need narrow 14-15" width? Both the EPI 0189H (14" width) and EPI 184H (15" width) offer narrow profiles
- Need low-profile under 9"? The EPI 184H at 7.5" height is your closest match for low-profile applications
