I'm restoring a 1981 Coleman Colonial Pop up that has been in the family all these years. I need a water tank and some other minor parts. Where is the best parts supplier. Tired of wandering around the internet and just getting ad stuff.

Thanks

"ronco.com" has just about any size tank you could need....you'll need to measure closely the exact size of tank & fittings, and where your fittings are on your old one....and if they don't have it made up----they'll put them anywhere you want them----very reasonable and good people to deal with, if you choose to go that route.

I have the same popup for the last 4 years and have never used the fresh water tank, if you do install one and fill it there will be to much weight behind the axle and than you will find out how it will porpoise while your driving down the interstate

It has been in the family 30 years and never a complaint of porpoising. New tires tomorrow. The ones one there are probably 20 yrs old. The water tank is only ten gallons and it is almost over the axel. It is a colonial model.
