Jayco is still fighting me on the part number. I asked if they could provide the 2014-2021 tank part number and they told me not without a VIN.

From my understanding of Jayco's Customer Service part system. They cannot do a search by description. No one has ever claimed success this way. They have to have a vin number to determine what components are in the TT. Crazy system they have! Some people have found an RV on a dealer lot that has whatever feature they want. Grabbed the vin number off of that RV and ordered the part. Another thing to try is looking online for a used 2014-2021 X213. Some RV dealers show images of the yellow sticker. This yellow sticker has the vin number on it.
Looks like you tow with a F150. Have you considered buying a water bladder? They come in all sizes. Fill the bladder when you need it, and keep it in the back of the TV. Transfer it over as needed with a small pump.

I love to boondock, our 23B has the same size tank. I use my 5 gallon Jerry can to transfer water, but we are never to far from a water source (sometimes it is a hand pump
). I fill up the Jerry can, place it inside my TT, next to my water pump. Flip the water pump valves over to winterizing. I place my outside shower hose into my gravity fill port with the cold water valve open. Turn on the pump sit back and let the pump do its thing. Pending on how long we are out for, I might transfer one or two jugs a day as needed. Nice part about the Jerry can, it is easy to handle, it is small, takes minimal room to store. I keep it open between uses to dry out. I can easily transfer a little water or a lot, and it is not much work.
A couple additional items to consider:
The CCC on your X213 is very low (very normal too). Pending on the new tank size, you could eat up an additional 150+ lbs of your available CCC. When your HTT is 100% empty you may only have 800 lbs in total CCC, With your new tank setup you may consume 50% of that in water. Not much CCC for food or other essentials.
Have you consider your waste tank sizes. Black tank usually is not an issue. But the grey tank on the other hand is probably about 30 gallons. So you will need to dump before you are out of water. Pending on where you go, many places will not let you empty your tanks directly onto the ground. One way we get around some of this, is to do wash our dishes outside in a dish pan. Most places usually treat this activity just like a tent camper and you can dispose it on the ground, just follow the local rules. But opening a waste tank and dribbling it onto the ground in most places is a major no no. The other item we sometimes do is dump the dishpan down the toilet. Just make sure all the dishes (silverware) is out of it first!
Good luck, let us know how you plan to proceed.
