Rummy,

Jay,
Generally we don't remove to clean the water tank. The water in the tank is
not considered potable (for human consumption), but is used for washing
dishes  and cooking. Running fresh water into and then pumping out and
adding a bit of  chlorine bleach is the best way to keep it clean. Drinking
water is usually  brought onboard in plastic bottles or one of those one
gallon collapsible  dispensers found at camping outlets.

The  water tank on the refurbished 92 I picked up in August needs to be  
replaced. I could not empty it completely for the winter with just the  
pump. 
The fill tube and pump line are not just clamped, but caulked  securely in 
place. Removal is not a reasonable option and even if it was  out, I could 
still not clean it easily. It operates and works fine, but I  want to be 
able 
to clean it directly when necessary.

I intend to  replace it with an easily removable and cleanable tank. I am 
writing to  ask if anyone can provide a source with a model number or type 
they may  have used for a replacement tank. I will be looking at various 
sources on  the web and at local dealers for RV's and Boats. Any 
information 
those on  the list might be able to offer would sure be a big help.

Thanks in  advance for the help.
