Why Was the EPI 3005 Discontinued?
The EPI 3005's unique 64" x 16" x 9" dimensions served a specific niche in the RV market for extra-long, narrow-width applications. Elkhart Plastics has consolidated their product line to focus on more versatile tank configurations. The current alternatives listed above offer similar dimensions with comparable capacity and the same professional-grade construction quality.
Finding the Right Replacement Tank
When selecting a replacement for the discontinued EPI 3005, measure your available space carefully and prioritize your most critical dimension:
- Need same 29 gallon capacity? Both the H1129000 and H1296 deliver identical capacity in different configurations
- Need narrow 16" width? The H1296 (15.5" width) offers the closest narrow-width match
- Need similar 60-64" length? The H1129000 (60" length) offers comparable long chassis configuration

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still order the EPI 3005?
No, the EPI 3005 has been discontinued by Elkhart Plastics and is no longer in production. We recommend the H1129000 (29 gallon, 60" x 28" x 6.125") as a current alternative with the same capacity.
What's the best replacement for the EPI 3005?
The best replacement depends on your space constraints. The H1129000 offers the same 29 gallon capacity with similar 60" length, though it's wider (28" vs 16"). The H1296 offers the same capacity with narrower 15.5" width but shorter 45" length.
Will the replacement tanks fit in the same space?
No current tank matches the EPI 3005's unique 64" x 16" x 9" dimensions exactly. The H1129000 (60" x 28" x 6.125") is shorter and wider but lower in height. Verify your available clearance before ordering.
Are the replacement tanks the same quality?
Yes, all current Elkhart Plastics tanks use professional-grade black polyethylene, seamless rotomolded construction, and heavy-duty wall thickness. You're getting the same OEM-grade quality in current production models.
Do I need different fittings for the replacement tank?
Replacement tanks are blank tanks without pre-installed fittings, just like the EPI 3005. You can reuse your existing fittings or purchase new ones from our tank fittings collection.
