That is pretty crumby of Jayco to advertise for an 81 gallon capacity for that model year and have it come with something different.
I wasn't able to replace the existing tank because it was fit in place pretty snuggly, but I was able to use the open space directly behind the existing tank and add a second tank (
https://www.valterra.com/product/abs...-60-30-gallon/). The fit was pretty tight, but after adding a channel to support the new tank and plumbing the two together I was able to up my capacity to about 70 gallons (75 w/ water heater and lines filled). Haven't had any trouble running out this year during any of our trips.
I really wish I had taken some pictures to document the process, but if you would like more info let me know and I can try to provide some more details.
