Tank Placement

Post by AQUALAUGE »

Hello all,

I have a 93 Model 15 45' with a factory raised roof and converting it into a motorhome. My question is; what is the best location for the water and waste tanks? I have heard up front (From an MCI owner) for a better ride but unsure about an eagle. I want to go with as much capacity as possible. Any input would be appreciated.

Eagles are maxed out on the front axle to begin with, best to mount the tanks in the rear bay if possiable, a 45ft Eagle is tough to balance out

Thanks Wayne, glad I asked as I was thinking the bus might need more weight forward. Good to know that there are folks out there that have already been down this road.
