You can find some Roadtrek parts at the following site, but I do not think that you will find your fresh water tank. Unless you can find one at a junkyard, I fear that it might not be possible to find an exact replacement. You might have to repair it, if possible, or try to fit something else in its place.

Fresh Water Repair

Hi: I have small crack (1-1.5 inches) on my fresh water tank. It is even very difficult to see so did not take a picture. It is very close to an inside corner. nothing missing just a hairline crack. Any suggestions on how to repair this? I read that polyethylene cannot be glued. I think...

On a separate thread, I told of my experience with "Gloozit". My messy and tedious repair, without removing the tank, has lasted 5 years with no problems. As far as I know, "Gloozit" is only available in Canada, but similar products may work as well.

RT Water Tank Repair

My 2007 RT190P forward water tank suffered a road gash to the bottom and right (inaccessible) side, causing a serious leak. My research was not reassuring as "plastic welding" looks like a skilled job and would require removing the tank. With nothing to lose, I tried smearing "Gloozit" glue to...

Have you checked out Plastic Mart? When I did my van conversion, they custom made a water tank for me that fit exactly where I wanted it to go, plus they welded all the pipes and cleanout as specified. They also have premade tanks that may work in your case. Good folks to work with at a very reasonable cost IMO.

You will probably be time and hassle ahead to just take out the tank and take it to plastic fabricator that does tanks from new and repairs damaged ones. Most areas have a couple of these shops as getting into the business is pretty low cost compared to many business types.

Fresh tanks are usually the easiest of the tanks to get out and they are easier to clean out before taking in for repair.

I had our grey tank repair a few years ago and they did a great job.

this is my tank, way past repair

Not necessarily. They likely could cutoff and replace the entire bottom in one piece

When I was working we had a tank that got speared with a forklift and the plastic shop put one whole end on it.

Piece of cake for someone that knows what they are doing. Tanks can be made from sheet plastic or fiberglass and plywood. Trick is learning to do it or finding someone who can. Boat places make custom tanks for boats all the time.

I got an estimate for a new aluminum fuel tank for my Toyota RV about 20 gallons, $600 a few years ago and that was a bargain basement price.
