The service contract allowed 5 hours total..2 to remove and replace the under belly and 3 to replace the black tank. The dealer labor charge was 89.00 per hour.His actual labor charge was 4.08 hours..364.90.

The new tank comes with nothing...just the tank.All of the plumbing was done by the dealer at a cost of 71.87 (home depot)All of the plumbing from the inside compartment to the tank was replaced.

Total parts tank, plumbing and hardware totaled 325.87..labor was 364.90 and service contract or not would be worth every penny to me.

The tank vendor will not ship to you but will ship to a dealer..tank 245.00 shipping quoted by the vendor was 132.00(a month ago)
the was no shipping charge on the invoice when the tank was ordered via Keystone.

It took every bit of the time alloted for the dealer tech(who I know very well, we once worked for this dealer) and he had replaced many tanks..

The actual price was 729.00 43.18 of which was Ohio sales tax.


If you are very handy, know a lot about plumbing, do not mind working in a confined space, (under the camper) .it may be a job you can handle. Ole Rich is none of the above.
