When your RV holding tank develops a crack, starts leaking, or fails completely, you need an exact-dimension replacement. This 39-gallon tank from Elkhart Plastics/Ameri-Kart (Part 449H) measures 60\" x 24 3/8\" x 8 3/4\" — the right fit for coaches originally built to that specific footprint. This is a discontinued product; we are selling through remaining stock. If the dimensions match your bay, order now.

- \nCapacity: 39 gallons \n
- \nDimensions: 60\" x 24 3/8\" x 8 3/4\" \n
- \nPart Number: 449H \n
- \nManufacturer: Elkhart Plastics / Ameri-Kart — one of the primary OEM holding tank suppliers to North American RV manufacturers \n
- \nMaterial: Polyethylene — chemically resistant to waste compounds and suitable for extended use as gray or black water tanks \n
- \nProfile: Wide, low-profile shape (only 8 3/4\" tall) suited for shallow underbelly bays in larger coach chassis \n
- \nStatus: Discontinued — limited final inventory remaining \n
Why Choose the 449H for Your RV?
\nHolding tank replacement is one of the most dimension-critical repairs in RV service. A tank that's off by an inch in any direction may not seat properly, may stress your plumbing connections, or may not pass through the access opening in the chassis. The 449H is the OEM-specification replacement for the exact footprint it was designed to fill.
\nElkhart Plastics and Ameri-Kart supply the majority of OEM tanks to RV manufacturers in Indiana. Using the same manufacturer means the same polyethylene formulation, wall thickness, and fitting-hole placement as your original. That matters when you're reusing existing spinweld fittings or level sensors from the old tank.
\n\nWho Is This Tank For?
\nThis tank suits DIY owners and professional RV technicians replacing a failed tank in a coach that originally used the 449H footprint. Before ordering: measure your existing tank exterior — length, width, and height in inches — and confirm it matches 60\" x 24 3/8\" x 8 3/4\". If you can locate the part number stamped on the old tank, that's the fastest way to confirm compatibility. If your bay is deeper or narrower, browse our other RV holding tank sizes. This part does not fit coaches that require a taller or shorter tank profile.

\n\nFrequently Asked Questions
\n- \n
- How do I confirm this tank fits my RV? \n
- Measure your existing tank exterior: length, width, and height. They should match 60\" x 24 3/8\" x 8 3/4\". Even faster: find the part number stamped into the existing tank. If it reads 449H, this is your direct replacement. \n
- Is this a gray water or black water tank? \n
- Either. The tank itself is a plain polyethylene vessel — whether it becomes gray or black water is determined by which waste line in your RV connects to it. Verify your plumbing before ordering if you're unsure. \n
- Do I need new fittings when I replace the tank? \n
- Not necessarily. If your existing spinweld fittings are undamaged, you can typically reuse them. If they show cracks, deformation, or stripped threads, replace them. We stock 2\", 3\", and 4\" spinweld fittings in our tank fittings section. \n
- Why does it say \"Discontinued\"? \n
- Elkhart Plastics/Ameri-Kart no longer produces the 449H. We are selling through our remaining stock — 10 units as of this listing. When they're gone, this part won't be restocked. Order promptly if your measurements match. \n
- Can I install this myself? \n
- Yes, with preparation. Holding tank replacement typically involves dropping the belly wrap, disconnecting existing plumbing and sensors, removing the old tank, and reversing for the new one. A second person and a floor jack to support the tank weight are strongly recommended. Allow a full day for the job. \n
Why Buy from Elkhart RV Parts?
\nWe're based in Elkhart, Indiana — the center of North American RV manufacturing. We stock discontinued and hard-to-find holding tanks precisely because these parts are difficult to source elsewhere once a model stops production. When you order from us, you're getting real stock from a warehouse that specializes in RV parts, not a marketplace reseller guessing at availability.
