The tank is made by Winkler in Germany. Ken Wilford at
www.vanagain.com used to sell them, although I don't see
them on his website now.

The other alternative is to try the US distributor for
Winkler Products:

Vanagon Projekt
2551 Second Street
Livermore, CA 94550

+1 925.447.8224
+1 925.447.5944 fax

But I remember there being a LONG wait for these tanks, and
they are VERY expensive.

It installs in place of the stock tank. There is a cross
beam at the rear of the stock tank that may have to be
relocated further aft. Otherwise it goes in like the stock
tank.

Thanks,
Chris
