Wally,

If I were going to take on this project I would do a cost comparison between making it out of aluminum and making it out of
stainless steel (SS).

I would find a shop that could fold the SS in such a way as to reduce the amount of welding to minimum; two pieces "U" shaped with
square corners?

A stainless steel tank would comply with my GMC repair policy:

From where I sit the only down side would be the additional weight of the stainless steel over the aluminum and in my opinion that
is meaningless in a GMC.

I'm considering making an aluminum black tank. It seems the boat guys sometimes have short life with them but it seems to be more of
a salt water flush problem. The rest of the aluminum on the coach has lasted great. Any thoughts?
