With a shipping weight of about 17 pounds, the Ronco RVB288 is the thickest-walled 9 gallon fresh water tank Ronco molds, nearly half again the material of its lighter siblings. That makes it the pick for exposed or hard-service mounts: overland trailers, truck beds, and utility conversions where the tank takes abuse. It is rated light-duty potable for RV fresh water systems.
The 9 gallon supply sits behind natural FDA-compliant polyethylene, molded with no colorant. The translucent wall that results shows the water level at a glance, and the rotationally molded construction means the shell is one seamless piece with no joints for impact or vibration to exploit.
Ronco Plastics molds the RVB288 in Tustin, California, in the rotomolding trade since 1974, and finishes it per order with spin-weld or threaded fittings installed at customer-specified locations, standard on every Ronco tank. Drawings, when shown, depict the blank molding before that step. OneSource Plastics supplies the RVB288 as an authorized Ronco Plastics dealer.
