Hello, Do you have the old Tank? If so you may be able to repair it or be able to match something close fom a commercial RV dealer. There are so many sizes and shapes available, it may be necessary to retrofit something. Some modifications to your motorhome may be necessary to fit. George

Did you check at incaplastics.com ? They might have it but I don't know if they can identify which goes with your model of Airstream. Give them a try if you haven't.

Trying to help you, without any drawings or photo's, is near impossible.

Posting a couple of photo's with dimensions, will get you several ideas, if not the tank as well, or at least a reasonable substitute.

We have many drawings of old Airstream water and holding tanks, but not the one you need.

Andy's right, a picture with dimentions or evn a dwawing would be helpfull. I don't belive airstream ever ave dedicated part numbers to those water tanks. So noone will be able to match it without seeing it or knowing the dimentions. G
