Replacing a cracked original fresh tank is the most common reason builders reach for the Ronco RVB255, a 12 gallon light-duty polyethylene RV fresh water tank shipping at 16 pounds. It also earns its place in new van and camper builds where a dozen gallons of potable capacity covers a weekend with margin.
Two details make it a genuine drinking water tank: the FDA-compliant natural polyethylene it is molded from, and the translucent wall that turns the whole tank into a sight gauge. Ronco Plastics produces the RVB255 by rotational molding in Tustin, California, where it has made polyethylene tanks since 1974.
Fittings are installed per order, Ronco's standard practice: tell them where you want spin-weld or threaded fittings and the tank arrives with ports located to your specification. A drawing, where shown, represents the blank molding prior to that work. OneSource Plastics carries the RVB255 as an authorized Ronco Plastics dealer.
