We usually just buy a packet of frozen prawns stick one on the end of our little BIG W rod, throw it in a...

Jayco Heritage water tanks.
(Preview)
Hello All, We have a 2002 21'6" Heritage. I have just filled the front tank and thought that it would be connected to the rear and fill that at the same time. Not so. My questions are, What is the capacity of these tanks and is there some valve or tap that will allow both tanks to be used at the same time?...
