Here's a small project that I started a few days ago, It's a Trailer Tank Water 400Gal 2WHL M149A2 (Water Buffalo). Most of the dimensions came from Matt Leese along with the wooden tank. Thanks Matt! Everything else is made from Evergreen Plastic. More to come...

Coming along great. The Water Buffalo and other modern trailers are an area that needs some attention from kit companiess. Maybe the old addage of scratch-"build it and they will come"...in kit form, will hold true.

Thanks,
They’ll be made out of plastic round rod in various sizes, the faucets themselves will not be exposed. You will see the plumbing from the tank, T-off to the boxes. I may build one that the cover is up showing the faucet….not sure yet.

Joe,
VERY nice.....I dig the tank! Looks really good right now....and yea, we need more trailers! I would really consider having at least one of the spigot compartments open...that'll only add more "oomph" to it.

Looks good Joe.
I use to pull one in Korea behind my Duce and a half.
Only place to fill was at the Mess Hall
