The tank is made by Winkler in Germany. Ken Wilford at www.vanagain.com used to sell them, although I don't see them on his website now.

The other alternative is to try the US distributor for Winkler Products:

Vanagon Projekt 2551 Second Street Livermore, CA 94550

+1 925.447.8224 +1 925.447.5944 fax

But I remember there being a LONG wait for these tanks, and they are VERY expensive.

It installs in place of the stock tank. There is a cross beam at the rear of the stock tank that may have to be relocated further aft. Otherwise it goes in like the stock tank.

Thanks, Chris
