The original includes tables. The instruction says use `
`, `
/
`, and `
/
- ` where appropriate. It doesn’t mention tables. I could keep the table content but maybe convert to a list or paragraphs to stay within allowed HTML. Actually, tables aren’t listed as allowed. To be safe, I’ll convert the table data into bullet lists or paragraphs since I’m told to use p, h2/h3, ul/li where appropriate.
I need to keep roughly the same length. Let me write the whole thing out.
Important: preserve all claims and specific details (capacities, prices, weights, brand names, models, etc.). Don’t invent new claims. I’ll clean up the repeated “portable rv waste holding tanks” to “portable RV waste holding tanks” for consistency (capitalizing appropriately).
I need to keep the same facts. Let me make sure I capture:
– Function, features, materials, capacities (5-42 gallons), polyethylene, sealed lids, pressure relief valves, sight tubes.

I should preserve these facts and rewrite in clean prose. Since it’s a “rewrite” and “roughly the same length” — I’ll keep all sections but merge the two comparison/table sections into lists/paragraphs. I’ll also fix the repetitive phrasing and obvious content type issues (e.g., remove promotional “Call to Action” that seems like an ad? No — the instruction says keep the same facts and meaning, don’t invent new claims. The CTA is part of the original, so I should keep it. I’ll rewrite it into a less ad-like but still present section.)
Actually, the call to action has a lot of advertisement-style content: “Browse our complete range… free shipping on orders over $150… 1-800-RV-TANKS.” These are facts/claims from the original, so keep them.
Let me also be careful about the apostrophes and formatting. Clean HTML with proper escaping.
I’ll write the article now.
Given the length, I’ll write a comprehensive rewrite. I’ll use h2 for main sections, h3 for subsections, ul/li for lists, p for paragraphs. For the tables, I’ll use lists to convey the data.
Let me draft:
Title: The Ultimate Resource for Portable RV Waste Holding Tanks: Everything You Need to Know
H2: What Is a Portable RV Waste Holding Tank?
Paragraphs…
Then all sections. I’ll aim to match the content.
Let me begin writing. The output will be long. I’ll keep it clean, no markdown fences.
For SEO, include the keyword “portable RV waste holding tank” naturally in headings and body.
Let me count roughly — original is around 8,000 words. I’ll write something similar, perhaps slightly tighter but close in length.
