Sometimes it’s inevitable. Things are going to break or go wrong on your RV road trip. Whether it’s a water pump out or accidentally filling up your holding tanks with no where to dump, things happen that are out of your control. Or there’s that moment when all you can think about is a nice hot shower, yet you step in and nothing comes out when you turn it on. To help avoid these types of shower issues, it is best to make sure you have a solid water tank installed and working properly. Today, many RVs are equipped with holding tanks that allow travelers to drive longer distances between fill-ups. Be sure to check your RV water tank to see if it’s damaged, missing, or the capacity is too small. If any of these are the case, it may be time to replace your water tank.

There are three types of RV holding tanks: freshwater, which holds the water that you use to drink, wash your hands, and shower; grey water, which holds the runoff from your sink and shower; and black water, which is where your toilet water drains. If any of these are damaged or not working properly, this could become a serious issue for you.
If you have a leak or damaged holding tank, you may have the option to repair it by patching or welding. However, depending on the severity of the damage, it’s often easier and more cost-effective to replace the unit altogether. Patching or welding is often a temporary solution and may not be your safest option. Your road trips will likely be less stressful in the long run if you just go with a brand new replacement and don’t have to deal with a faulty patch or multiple repairs while on the road.
