I understand current and recent production has 143G Water/Waste tanks.  Has this always been the case?  Is there information anywhere about holding tank size over the years?

Thanks!

I'm not sure of how far they go back, but a 143, or optinal 180 gallon tank has been used long before my 2015.

1995 # 390 has a 163 gallon fresh water tank. You can figure it by taking length x width ÷ 231. That gives you gallons per inch of depth

There have always been variability in the size of the water and the holding tanks in Newells depending on the customer's desires even though Newell has had 'standard' tank sizes at various times 143 gal has been a frequently used tank size.

Not to hijack, but this topic is currently near and dear to me - does the holding tank have a breather or some other connection to the atmosphere other than the breather tube going to the roof? Asking because I had a very full tank from some boondocking and had to make a short stop due to traffic, resulting in a small amount of spillage in the wet bay (thank goodness it is contained) and a large amount of consternation from the spouse. Wondering if I need to look for a loose fitting or if there is a breather directly on the tank such that I should avoid running completely full.

Thanks for any knowledge.

The drain fittings into the top of the tank are slip fit. If you overfill the tank they will leak.

That stinks!
