At approximately 111 pounds shipping weight, the Ronco RVB229 is the heavyweight of the 48 gallon RV fresh water class, a thick-walled molding built for installations where the tank takes real punishment: large motorhomes, work rigs, and coaches that live on rough roads. It is rated light-duty potable, the fresh water class for RV drinking systems.
Heavy wall or not, the fundamentals are the same as every Ronco fresh water tank: natural FDA-compliant polyethylene, molded without pigment so the translucent shell shows the water level from outside, and rotational molding that forms the entire vessel as one seamless piece with no joints to fatigue.
The RVB229 is produced by Ronco Plastics in Tustin, California, where the company has rotomolded tanks since 1974. Fittings are installed to order, Ronco's standard: spin-weld or threaded connections located per your specification, so the tank lands in your bay ready to plumb. When a drawing is shown, it depicts the blank molding before fitting installation. OneSource Plastics is an authorized Ronco Plastics dealer.
