My 05 Big Sky Black Tank is hopelessly broken around the outlet - repaired once before with PLasti-Mend, but this time 4 coats with fiberglass of Plasti-Mend over 2 days just cracked open all along the the new crack after a few days of use.
I assume its the same as PN-TS2463SD (Claimed to be 38 Gallons)
24 inches wide X 63 inches Long X 8 inches deep marked in yellow 294 that RichFAA had.
I emailed TravelStar about replacement availability and a nearby Dealer (their website no longer has RV Tanks on it) and they insist they only sell to dealers so we'll see how that goes.
ICON DIRECT has a very similar size Tank, albeit only 7" Deep and rated for only 27 Gallons.

When I measure my Tank Depth it seems closer to 7" versus the stated OEM 8"
Anyone used the ICON replacement?
Anyone replaced one themselves?
Cutting and re-installing the Toilet Drain shouldn't be too hard - Not sure how to reconnect the Vent. Will use a flexible rubber coupling from the new Tank Drain to the Drain Valve.

Suggestions requested!
