Hello,

I recently purchased a used 3023 Trailmanor. We do a lot of dry camping and would like to upgrade the 20 gallon fresh water tank to 40 gallons. Has anyone done this or know where to look to do this?

Thank you in advance for any help that you can provide!

I just buy 2.5gal water at the grocery store (on sale for $2.50) and reuse them.
Eight or more of these fit anywhere in truck or TM. Also great to have one at the outside table.
They can be poured into TM main tank when needed.
For frequent camping - invest in stronger water bottles, the grocery water bottles are flimsy.

20 gallons weighs 160 pounds.
Also consider weight limits on: TM / tires / hitch / tow vehical ...

I purchased 3- 7 gallon portable containers with spigots and 1- 6 gallon portable container with a pour spout. My 40 gallons is not enough for a long weekend when we have 6 or more adult.

Some of the places I want to go to will require that I drive 10 miles when I want more water. I do not want to tow the TM that far just to fill it up.
