well, i haven't done anything yet but all I have is the original plastic tank,
I'm guessing 15 gallons. So, I'm interested in this as well.However, I can
answer the tie in together question. Yes, it is all a matter of running hoses
and tees. There are number of ways to accomplish this. One tank into the
other tank then into the system or you could tee both tanks together with a
diverter valve so you know when the 1st tank runs dry. I think that is the
better solution. the first scenario would essentially be like one big tank. I
know a lot about plumbing so, if I can be of any assistance, It would be my
pleasure to help design a system. I'm going to begin that process for my boat
over the winter I think. I need to figure out where I would add a another tank.
My boat is set up pretty close to the way it came in 1973! No pressure water,
No heating, No AC power...

Subject: Stus-List ...now: adding water tankage to a 36-footer
Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2012 04:58:42 -0700 (PDT)
Greetings,
We have a 1978 36-footer. We have the OEM hard water tank (20 gallon?) for
fresh water and a soft tank (15 gallon?) . We use the 20-gallon tank almost
exclusively for galley wash water and need to refill 4-5 days into a cruise. We
use the soft tank mostly for showering and usually get 6 showers out of it. We
carry three 5-gallon Coleman jugs for drinking water.
I'd like to increase the water capacity, especially in the galley water. Any
ideas? Anyone done this? Can we tie into the existing tank(s)?
Thank you,
Richard
