Sean, as far as I know it is Appliedgmc. Jim sells a lot of tanks and has them for the various models.

Sean, if you still have the original black tank with the mounting flange on
the top, they are no longer made. Jim K is my source for tanks, and his
prices are very competitive. Especially if you consider the fact that any
other source for tanks will not have an exact replacement for the Gmc
coach. Between early and late, 23 and 26 foot, Gmc built or coachman and
avion upfitters, the number of tanks used are many. I have seen 1, 2, and
3 tank variations. It is a nasty job. Do it once and do it right, and then
use the coach for fun.

Thank you all, much obliged as usual!

I've been quiet here lately, as I've thrown in the towel on DIY repairs for now (working full time, so not much time for projects). Coach is in a repair shop, getting all of the house systems put in working order for an upcoming trip.

When I get the coach back, I'll post what was done and how much it cost me, for the benefit of anyone else who might be in the same boat as me.

So you know what your shop may encounter here is a photo of my 73 black tank. A little different because it is from a 23. Note that the original shower and sink inlets were steel nipples.

You have to remove the toilet because the Tee inlet screws into the tank.

Here is my own home made tool to remove the flange.
