Nice to see pictures during construction. Now I know what the chase is covering on the passenger side hall. Tick tock

Bedlam you almost posted a picture that I'm looking for. You don't happen to have a construction photo that shows the black tank under the coach/dinette? I use a nature's head composting toilet. I would like to remove the platform, the existing toilet sits on, to lower the height. I would then look at re-purposing the black tank as a auxiliary water tank.

The black tank runs from the sink to about a half way under the couch or dinette. Both the bathroom sink and toilet fill the same tank. Removing that platform reduces the tank size and would require the sink drain run somehow back to the gray tank that is currently fed by the shower and kitchen sink.

If I am remembering the camper layout properly, the fresh tank is against the front camper wall and the gray tank is behind it. The false wall at the forward end of the storage compartment is up against the gray tank. The lines you see at the foot of the bed close to the fridge is the fresh water fill and overflow/breather. The kitchen sink has a flex pipe into the basement where it mates with rigid pipe attached to the top right of the storage compartment running the rest of the way to the gray tank. The gray tank drain runs along the left bottom edge of the storage compartment and dumps close to the battery compartment.

Just to clarify a bit. Does the black tank run completely under the sink cabinet or under the toilet butting into the sink cabinet? Thanks

I know the sink cabinet door does not go lower than the step for the black tank. I do not know how far the black tank extends forward but assumed that it, the dump valve and the heater took up the full length of this 11' slide out base.

It looks like mine runs under the sink also. The bottom of the cabinet is even with the floor that the toilet is on
