I have an 83 Funtime camper that developed a crack in the grey water tank.I am having a hard time locating a replacement.
I have looked online and talked to PPL and Camping World and a couple other smaller places.NO LUCK!!! I didnt think it would be a problem
Do any of you have a recomendation?
Thanks
Kevin

Would some Eternabond tape click be able to fix the leak, or is the crack too large? This is a quote from a part of their web site
"Restore: Commercial roofs, RV roofs, Mobile home roofs, gutters; Repair leaks and holes in: All roofs - commercial or residential; all RV, mobile home, trailer roofs; all metal roofs; holding tanks; awnings; gutters; skylights; flashings; boats; pool and pond liners; tears in convertible roofs, tarps and tents; cracks in basement walls; boat, car, pool, and grill covers, etc.!"

Drill a small hole at the ends of the crack, rough up the area along the crack and holes, and then fill with a good two part epoxy or JB Weld.

According to DW you can fix anything with duct tape. 
Wish I really had an answer for you but I don't

I would agree with the posts for epoxying. I would add either a fiberglass matt or roving to the mix. That will streangthen the entire area of the crack and give additional protection against leaking. You can find either matting or roving at either Boaters World or West Marine.
Wear gloves.

Eternabond or plastic welding will fix the leak.
