Thanks for the suggestions.

I found this tank:

https://www.tank-mart.com/rv-marine-tanks-4/rv-water-tanks/5-gallon-rv-water-tank-1397.html

It's only 5 gallons, but it also only 5.25" deep. I'd still probably bend
up some sheet metal to protect it from road debris.

I'm going to keep looking.

Thanks,


Ken
