fresh water tank for 1968 tradewind

[seabornj]

I recently bought a 68 tradewind and it has no fresh water tank, where can i get one? Any help is appreciated

i replaced mine with a larger unit from a boaters world. 40 gallon, i did have to modify the gaucho though.

I found one that was in a 69 overlander for $225!!! it seems a little expensive, but i think it would fit without modification. Is that too much?

my fear would be leaks. the reason i replaced mine was the seams in the polyethylene were spliting. i tried to have it repaired by welding and other methods with no luck. so that does seem high for something so old. do some google searching for polyethylene (spelling) tanks and i think one could be made for about that amount.
