1974 westy water tank

[kckane]

I realize this is an older thread, but it's worth a shot...

I am on the hunt for a 1974 Campmobile water tank. I need one that has the hose connections on the bottom of the shorter part of the tank (not the tallest part of the tank). I bought a water tank that has the hose connections on the taller part of the tank. I suppose I could do some modifications on the shelf the tank sits on and get longer hoses, but I prefer to have the tank that has the hose connections underneath the shorter part of the tank.

Any help in locating the tank I need would be great. And any insights into possibly modifying the shelf that the tank sits on are useful as well. I really don't know what I'm doing.

Hi, I still have the tank I bought, haven’t installed it yet so I can have a look today. What is the part number on the side? Does it say campmobile?

Did you end up selling that tank? The the exact one I need for my 78. Mine has cracks water that metal spout comes out.

My 77 westy has the fittings like yours in the back under the long side. It slides into the cabinet with the long part in the rear, and the shorter part facing you.

I have a water tank I pulled out of a older van quite awhile back. I am cleaning my shed out and listing parts I don’t need. But I noticed that the tank I have has the water pump and drain located under the tall part of the tank instead of under the narrow part like seen in this post. So now I am wondering why and how to list it. Is this not a standard 70’s westfalia tank? Why would it be reversed? I can’t find many photos online or much info on these. Any help would be appreciated.

My friend's bus has a heater under the tank, is that rare?

I know for a fact that the guy at BustedBus has one of those tanks for that year, because he sent me one instead of the one I needed for my '78. It was an honest mistake and he sent me the correct one right away. Give him a try, because if I remember right he said he had a few of them. -b

Not sure if this person still has it 4sale, but here is the tank:

If not, and you do find a tank, MAKE sure the two outlets on the bottom are on the small and away from the filler hole.

If the two outlets are on the big end, same as the filler hole, THAT is a 76-79 tank.

Here ya go. Hope these help. There may be some small details that aren't completely original, but it's very close, eg. collapsable tire is gone, support strap is replaced, the PO did something funny with the siding. The camera has a way of finding dirt and stains I haven't noticed before. Gotta reach in a little further with the furniture oil-on-a-rag.

Thanks Birdibus I will call Inca if all else fails but my problem is I have no clue what a 74 tank even looks like I have never seen one I think it goes in the first cabinet inboard under the sink above where the spare tire goes? the pump is missing and there is another hack job faucet installed.

If you or any one can take a picture of what it is supose to be i can go from there .

Thanks

Ps if any one needs a 73 console with good ice box let me know.
