. So the only place left would be under the kitchen where you have weight of the appliances plus the battery and propane tanks on the tongue. When full would throw all weight forward of front axel and minimal weight behind.
Hi Jim,

Yours was the T2553 I had seen.

See this layout on our prior T2499. This too is a center pass through bath just front bed room. The fresh tank is forward of the axles. And when you fill it, this floor plan gains around ~ 190ish pounds of tongue weight. This tank is under the camper. They could of put it under the front bed.




Ideally on this floor plan they would of put the fresh tank over the rear axle. Very little TW change then. The pump could of been right above it under the kitchen sink.

Yours could of gone under the camper in a shallower and wider tank in almost the same location. Just they chose to put in inside.

Well, maybe some day this may be figured out. And it might be there was not a lot of thought to it. Some places it fits in side, some it does not.

After seeing/dealing with leaking tank fittings, especially the green striped hose... not having that tank inside may be a good thing.

In the T2499 kitchen was on or behind axle off somewhat off setting weight of water forward. If they would put tank in front under trailer all weight would have been forward.
After all said and done it wasn't a bad fresh water tank fitting that gave me the headache. Could have been. It was a plastic fitting on the hot water tank. A small crack can dump allot of water into trailer real quick.
I have figured out the wiring and switches needed to be able to control water pump from kitchen and bath.
