Can the Valterra RV Water Tank # R8066 be Installed So That it is Taller or Shorter
Question:
Can this be mounted on its side or does have to be mounted with the 16 inch side standing upright? I am concerned about ground clearance.

The Valterra RV Water Tank # R8048 can be installed standing up for laying down as is demonstrated in the 2 attached photos.
If you have it oriented so that it sits taller the drain plug will already be in a position to drain properly. Should you choose to mount it so that it has a lower profile you will simply need to use one of the pre-drilled holes as a drain. If you finish drilling them through to the tank you will be able to use them as a drain as you can see in the attached picture and review video.
