I'm thinking about raising the floor just enough for a 1 1/2" pvc to go over the floor then down into the tank. That well mean I will have to cut the floor under the shower, let the P Trap hang under the floor, come back up over the floor pass the cross member and drop down to tap into the tank.

Tomorrow I may be able to draw a sketch explaining all gibberish above.

Up date us on what you are doing.


Makes perfect sense, definitely something to think about. :thinking: Also, I have looked at these, I think this is what Don is talking about:

As for an update, I am hoping to get back to work on the trailer in a week or two. This earning a living thing is taking way too much of my time. :thumbdown:

Thanks for the link. It looks doable.
I'll have to make a decision here soon.
You go on and take care of business. We'll be here when you get back to your build.

Hader, Howdy;

When all is said an done there is also nothing wrong with drilling some holes in the trailer's
framework for the plumbing to pass through. You will need to ensure that the pipes don't chaff.
Just a thought ...

Thank you Hank.
I'm gonna crawl under it today to take some measurements. I'll keep in mind what you said above.

Just don't crowd the top edge of any structural member. try to stay 1/4" below and clean-up
(smooth), the holes surface.

I will be combining Don, Hank, Iconfabul8 & McDave's Ideas to solve the Tanks dilemma.
I will raise the floor by about 2". Drop the shower p-trap through the original floor bring it back up above the original and under the new floor, run it just pass the axle an drop it into Tank. I will not have any 'Driveway Drag' because the tank will be about 4' from the tail.

Here's to you Don, Hank, Iconfabul8 & McDave :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :D

I promised Iconfabul8 to make a sketch for the plumbing, and thought what the heck let's add a bit of fun.

IMHO it makes it more like a college learning-aid or court exhibit.
