Fresh Water Tank Replacement?

Can anyone recommend where to get a replacement fresh water tank for a passport 175bh in or around Toronto? We hit a(n already dead) deer in Northern Ontario and snapped the drain off. Good news is the trailer was lighter for the rest of the trip.

On most fresh water tanks, the drain is a PVC pipe fitting that's screwed into a threaded hole in the tank. Take a close look, you may find that the fitting is what snapped and all you need to do is get the broken part out of the adapter and screw in a new fitting.... Tanks run about $300 plus installation. That fitting and a new end cap or valve is about $10.....

Worth doing a second look to make sure, eh ?????

Thanks John, unfortunately that threaded hole is busted (despite my attempts get it back together). I'm going to try to level up my epoxy game tomorrow but I'm fearing (and preparing for) the worst.

I wouldn’t count on epoxy holding it, I have had some success plastic welding.

Just realize if you order a $300 tank from these guys the shipping will likely be $300 or more, their shipping cost are ridiculously high.
You could get the part number from them & then order from somewhere else l
