The RV71W and its sibling the RV50W hold the same fresh water two different ways, and choosing between them is pure geometry. This tank is the compact one: 38 x 20 x 9 inches, a foot shorter than the RV50W and four inches wider, standing an inch taller. Compartments deeper than they are long favor this shape; long shallow benches favor the other. Ronco's sheet line for it reads 71W L.D. at 25 gallons; it is cataloged here at 26.
It is a potable tank, light-duty W series, molded from FDA-compliant natural polyethylene, translucent enough to read the fill level through the wall. Empty it weighs about 66 pounds; full it is roughly 217 pounds at 8.34 pounds per gallon, a load your compartment floor should carry without flexing.
Cross-shop the RV50W at 50 x 16 x 8 inches if your space runs long, or the RV24W at 43 x 16 x 10.5 if you can use 30 gallons. The complete potable range is at RV water tanks under the Ronco hub. One Source Plastics is an authorized Ronco Plastics dealer.
