Fresh Water Tanks

[Michael]

Thanx Curt. Where do I setup the auto signature? I'll manually add
one to this post. I did order a replacement Hot Water Heater through
Dupree. Although I do like the tankless systems (use them at home) I
thought a small single faucet heater would be ok here, but still the
requirements are 23a @ 230v so I'll drop that for now. I'm not ready
to go gas on that yet, although that is an attactive solution.

Now I just need to replace the water tank. On the Wanderlodge page
it states the 78FC35 has a 98 gal fresh water tank, but it does not.
By my measurements it cannot be over 65 gal due to its dimensions
alone? So now I'm thinking about turning the tank 90 degrees and
loosing the under bed storage drawer to try and get a larger tank in
there. I'm assuming the black (42gal) & gray (60gal) numbers are
correct? If so I'd like to get closer to 100 gallons.

The current tank measures about 29"w x 38"l x 14"h. If I turn 90
degrees I could go with 32" x 48" x 16 if I move the heater vent or
14 if I leave it there. At any rate that would give me 106 gals or
93 gals and will leave more room for plumbing than exists now.
