That's what we used. Screwed rubber 'feet' to the bottom, matched to the sink, so it's held tightly in place going down the road.
Leeann,
That's all the one I got at Camping World is... The manufacturer just used square nuts in a slotted hole and rubber feet on all four corners so that it ends up as a "one size fits most" cover/cutting board. Adjust to "your" sink and then tighten screws in the feet until they don't move.

Anyone know where to possibly find these older lens? I have tried EBAY.


Flesher's Trailer Sales. Just type it into google and ask Fletch.

Also, Leeann's cutting bards, sink-covers are really good.

I have a Dump Station question in another forum.

http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/21923512.cfm

Someone said to dump the Black tank first then the gray which makes sense. I am calling to confirm with the previous owner tonight (he does not mind) but I think the black and gray tank are combined on my 1976 motorhome (see signature). Is this how the older motorhomes were set up to have them combined? Thanks,

I have a black tank and a drain hose for the grey, au-naturale! I suppose I need to be a pail-toter... you may be as well.

Look under your rig, you'll see your black tank, your grey tank (if you have one), and your gas tank. If you only see two under there, you don't have a grey tank.

BTW, my fresh water is under a bench in the dinette...

I have a uni-tank as well... I think alot of these older smaller C's have one tank...


I don't think anyones dying statement ever contained the words "I wish I had spent more time in the office", so lets go somewhere!

My 1970 Explorer Class A didn't have a grey water tank. The plumbing for the sinks and shower acted as the grey water tank ... when water was visible in the bottom of the shower, it was time to drain the grey water tank.

Note: The grey water did NOT empty into the black water tank ... the two systems were connect external to the black water tank just before the dump station connection. (I imagine you could have left the black water tank valve open but that would have meant black water in the grey water system, possibly even in the shower pan if you didn't drain everything soon enough.)

This is being changed in the rebuild/customization ... a separate grey water tank for each sink, plus the black water tank ... haven't worked out how I'm going to connect it all up because I haven't thought through the operation of those systems yet. (Shower will be limited to an outdoor shower head, mostly for rinsing off grandkids.)

My 76 Dodge "Concoure" has 2 drain valves. The forward most being the grey water and the rear one black water. I have the operating instructions for it if you think it will help.

My '73 Concord 20' Class A only has a black tank. Which acts as a grey and black tank, with one dump valve. Bigger models had 2 tanks, but not the 20'.

I am thinking this is my situation as my 1976 is only 16 feet.

Doug in CA, thanks anyway for the operating instructions.
