While pulling the front of my 1978 Rustler 205L trailer apart I had to pull out the water tank... I found out that the tank is original to the trailer and that there is a nice crack where the main fill goes into the tank.

I need to replace the tank, but am having a hard time finding one that is similar to the one I have. The numbers on it says it is 112.5 liters or 25 Can Gal. It is approx 58" long, 11" wides, and 12" tall. The fill port is on one side in the centre on the end, there is a drain hose on the bottom, and there is a vent tube on the one side. Then there is the main outlet on the bottom at the other end.

I was thinking that maybe I would increase the size of the tank as I am changing the front of the trailer around so that I have a permanent queen bed at the front. The problem is finding a tank with the fittings in similar locations because I can't change where the water fill is.

Any suggestions on where I can purchase a tank? I am located outside of Edmonton, Alberta. So far I have looked at icondirect.ca and rvpartshop.ca

I was researching Class A Customs for awhile. They seem like decent tanks for the price... I know they are in the US so I am not sure how much shipping would be.

*Update* Just wanted to give an update that I found a tank at Icondirect.ca
It is a 30 gallon, 13" x 36" x 15" and will be purchasing it in the coming months. It is CA$225 with (3) 1/2" corner fittings and a 1 1/4" filler port.
I was going to go with a 54 gallon tank, but decided to just keep the stock size.
