I recently bought a 2018 Alcom Mission 24ft enclosed trailer. Got a great deal but need to set it up. Will be towing it behind my motorhome or truck. So far I have replaced all of the tires, added a spare and buffed/ceramic coated it.

Looking to add at least 40 gallons of fuel and at least 50 gallons of water storage underneath the trailer. I would prefer to use all aluminum or plastic for corrosion. I have tried to contact other Alcom dealers to buy the tanks and parts so they would be the same as factory without luck. Does anyone have pictures of fuel/water tanks on an Alcom, ATC, Intect or other aluminum trailer? Would like to run the fuel hose up to the tongue to house in a tool box along with an air line for filling tires.

Thank you DockMaster for the pictures. Two separate tanks would be really nice. Are the tanks made of aluminum? Wonder if Intech would sell me the tanks, pump, etc.

Separate question... Looking to add E-track or L-track to the trailer floor. E-track seems harder to clean the sand out but is supposed to be a stronger. What do you all think is best?

Tanks are aluminum I believe. I’ll take a look at them. I think I recall seeing a label on them from whoever makes them . I don’t think they are made in-house by Intech.
I’ve had trailers with E-track and L-track. I prefer the L-track. Easier to clean as you noted. And I prefer the thinner width of the L-track. I had three rows out on the floor of my Intech and a row on the walls. One benefit to E-track is there are many more attachment fittings available if you want something other than just tie-down points.
 
Give Universal Trailer in Riverside a call, they will sell you fuel tank setups and water tanks. My buddy just picked up another fuel tank for his trailer
 
Not sure about your location but KSH in Havasu can custom-build a tongue mount tank and mount to your specs.

I purchased a water tank through these guys and mounted it under my trailer. Added a 12 water pump to it to transfer water to my motorhome when needed.
 
For those who have filters on their fuel stations, is the filter before or after the pump?

Totally forgot I was supposed to send you a picture of the tank label. Here it is, sorry it took so long:

I called KSH and they could build and ship me a 45ish gallon tank for around $1,000 plus tax. I think I may just have my buddy who is a fabricator make the tank as it would probably be the same cost or less and he would take care of the whole process.

Dockmaster, I could not find a website for ECI. Looks like they make tanks for many different trailer manufactures though. The label on your tank says do not use fuel with more than 15% ethanol.

I hate dealing with a gang load of fuel jugs in my trailer, so I bought 3 of these and a transfer pump and they have been great.
