Hot water tank tin for bellypan?

I am thinking about using tin from hot water tanks to make a bellypan for my van. The reason I am wanting to use it is I can get as much as i want for free. I work next door to a plumbing supply shop so people dump tanks in our yard all day long. seems like a good source of large sheets of free tin. Has anyone used this gauge of metal before? I am planning to use metal electrical conduit to make a frame to support the pan. I would need a lot of material so the cost of coroplast could potentially take a while to pay for itself?
