If you want to gaurentee problem and leak free tanks, go with the removable option :) You will never have to take them off !
Honestly, I have an RV and I can see taking them off if ever needed, but I have my doubts if that need will ever arise.​ Then again, it is nice to know that it can be done if needed.
I think that I will add the few hours to do it...

Looking at the A/C Spruce hardware kits, I noticed that there is a wing tank option to buy machine screws and nut plates for the installation.

Does anyone have any previous experience where you needed to remove a wet wing tank after it was installed? I was planning on rivets since I was thinking it was a kind of permanent​ affair...


Thanks,
Andy
