Howdy.
We are realizing that there were repairs to the black water tank by previous owners of our 1993 Wanderlodge. I have found seeping where the tank makes a 90 degree corner. Repaired that. Now, there is seeping where the tank and sewer pipe are joined and there is a hose clamp there. So I found seepage on that. So I coated it liberally with silicon caulk. SHMBO is not happy and would like to replace the present tank with one that is not so oddly shaped. Have you replaced the black water tank in your BB? A
slightly smaller tank would be o.k. Comments, ideas, please?

TIA,
Jack

Howdy, Chuck.
Thanks for the reply. I don't think our BWT is fiberglass. I think that it is some kind of poly-plastic.
