Hi Jared!
The 24 gallon 48" x 8" x 16" Valterra RV Water Tank # R8048 weighs just under 16 pounds (15.8 pounds, to be exact). If you were also wondering how much this would weigh with 24 gallons of water in it (I was), that would be 215 pounds (a gallon of water weighs 8.3 pounds and 24 gallons therein weighs 199.2 pounds). This is fairly relevant as that is a good amount of weight.
Where are you planning to install this?
