    Sturdy and overall well made
    Good product and well made. Only problem I had was it had a small pin hole leak where the seam sealer let some water out. It was really slow and something that quality control would have easily missed. A little more sealer in the area the water was dripping out fixed the problem. Overall very happy with the product and it works well on my overland trailer.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Quality control is terrible both the initial and replacement leak!!!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2023
    I order the Valterra R8030 (15 gallon). It came well packed in a box but upon filling it up it had a sever leak, you can see the cracked weld circled in red in the photo. They quickly sent a replacement which was an improvement in that it leaked more slowly… doesn’t anyone pressure test these before shipping them out? Now it’s a month later and I have a camping trip coming up in 5 days and I have no water tank. When I try to return this Amazon tells me an error has occurred, can I get a replacement that doesn’t leak please!
