How to Repair Camper Holding Tanks

Rough Terrain or dragging on the ground, can create a crack in what is normally a very durable holding tank. RVs have a gray water tank for runoff from sinks and showers, a black tank for sewage and waste and a fresh water tank. These tanks are vital to make your RV bathroom useful. Should your tank become damaged, it can be repaired with a few simple steps.
