Here is a pic. This behind my my toilet and you can see the T on the BW vent pipe with the flex hose. The flex hose runs along the baseboard and behind the vanity and connects to the GW tank vent under the vanity.

I’m just glad that one thing at least will be easy.
Thanks so much! Oh, love the bathroom wall tile (paneling) and it looks fab in the kitchen too!

Can we vent the black tank and the gray tank through the same outlet pipe?

My black tank vent was not convenient to connect in the gray vent.
So instead of another hole in the roof, I went out through the floor with the gray vent. I don't plan on letting the
water stay in the Gray tank for long periods so I dont think stink will be a problem.

Nice build! Went through your page a bit, will finish later. I used to weld a long time ago, now I need to go practice

Hey all, just a sketch of a possible layout. What do you think of the weight distribution, our tv is a 2012 F250 diesel. I know we still need to watch our hitch weight, also, where would you put the batteries? We are probably going with 4 eventually. I will have more layouts, I can’t seem to stop drawing them out, lol!Image

Here is a tool that can help at this phase to get a general feel for weight and balance and tongue weight. just enter your own numbers where the red numbers are and the program will do the math for you.

rhelvey22,

Our 1st conversion was an 8.5' x 32' car hauler. The difference from yours is the 8' bedroom that we had in the front. let me try to find some old layout for what we did, and see if it will help you with your own setup.

Thanks Dave, I’ve bookmarked that calculator. Hader, I tried looking, but only see the outside of the trailer. I will keep looking, maybe I’m missing something. Thanks again!
