Based on what I've read in the past, I'd have to say they're anywhere from 28 to 30 Gal.

The web site has your info. http://www.forestriverinc.com/nd/default22.asp?location=rv&unittype=&page=floorviewertt&model=8526RKWS&choice=flag&nav=rec&name=144&series=8WideFW

You have one 30 Gallon Black and two identical 30 gal gray (photos Http://travel.webshots.com/album/574779537IVEtLp), and one 37 gal fresh.

Actually, if I'm not mistaken, the fresh water tank capacity is 30 Gals. The water heater tank capacity and fresh water plumbing make up the other 7 Gals.

I have the 2004 model of that trailer and my tanks are 30 gal fresh and 25 gallon for each holding tank including the galley tank. I'm sure they may have changed capacities since then. However to confirm the capacity, take a 5 gallon bucket of water and pour into each tank, counting the number of buckets you pour into each one of them. That is as accurate as you will get.

Good luck with the bucket trick, it sounds like too much work for me. LOL

The Forest River web site seems to be the only place I have found the info. The photos of one under construction seem to imply they are the same size black plastic tanks and that makes sense from an inventory standpoint. My dealer stated that the fresh tank is white plastic and may very well be a different size, but I have no idea what that size might be. 30 gal tank plus plumbing "might" be true if you count the hot water heater. I just got done winterizing and it took a about 2 gallons of antifreeze to charge the lines including the empty filter. Add 5 gallons for the heater and you will get 37 gallons.
