Review on 💧 Barker Manufacturing Company 11914 12 Gal. Water Tank Kit: compact and reliable water storage solution. by Brent Ayyagari

The water tank appears to be quite solid and is a great replacement for the 40 year old tank we had in our camper van. The two things I would change are the placement of the tank drain system and the length of the hoses that come with it. The drain is on the opposite side of the tank from the fill, overflow, and service connections. Because of this, the tank cannot be installed in a reasonable place (near 2 walls). The drain plug is also a rather odd two-piece cap that should stick out of the van, why not a valve on the tank? They plan to install a tank under the sink. The supply line is 8 feet long and the inlet hose is about 2.5 feet long. We have an 8 foot pop up slide. The sink is about 3 feet from the front door and the tank is opposite the door. So the supply hose was about 2 feet shorter with proper hose routing, and the fill hose was about half the length it takes to get from the outside wall to the tank. This camper is 7 feet wide. Overall a good product but poor installation material.
