Re: Holdinng Tank

Tom, my holding tank was installed after the fact   It is installed in a locker
directly behind the toilet fixtures in a locker which was probably constructed for
the purpose and possible after the installation.  I believe you would have to
dismantle the face of the locker to remove the tank.  The tank is the typical white
plastic semi rigid material more or less shaped to fit the hull, that is wide at
the top and tapering to a narrow bottom.  I believe that tanks this shape can be
purchased as stock items for about $120 in Toronto.
