New Holding tanks $$$'s-Yuk
|
Dick Rettke
开云体育Well gang this is how it goes when your holding
tanks are-a-goner!!? About $800-$1000 big ones, now you need to understand
this also includes a new toilet and a new main gas valve [it is unsafe will not
shut off completely].? I posted a message on a gas smell before, and thank
God you suggested I go have it checked out, could of been sitting?on a time
bomb!? The group comes through again?- "Thanks".?
?
The tough part is to find just the right tanks that
will fit, and since it is plumbing [and I do nothing at all with plumbing} this
price includes all installation as well.? So before we even take her
on?our first?Cruise we are paying? - so it goes, you see I hate
going to those community showers.? -=dr=- |

开云体育I am sure you are right Benton, however, the "war
dept" in this house wants it done this way, something about not wanting my
"jury-rig" to let go on the highway.? -=dr=-

of a crash and took the insurance money and ran, that is the best we can figure. Thus, the ol boy wanted to sell the unit in the winter, arr and winter is when I bought her, however even with 1k into the deal I am still well within what Its worth to me, however, now we all know what it will cost to have a custom job done. -=dr=- ----- Original Message -----

save me some bucks....Also have you looked in JC whitney catalogs on replacement
tanks....Stuff at R.V. places are way overpriced.

My wife and I have owned many Rv's. From tents, VW micros in the 60s-70s, to travel trailers and MH's. Here it what we found: The key to fun is to keep your rig simple. Nether the fresh water holding tank or the black water tank will hold enough to work on any stay in the boondocks over two days. If you plan to only use sites where you can have full hook up, you don't need the tanks. Taking one, or two quick showers will fill the gray water tank, and you will have to move the rig to find a find a dump site. We don't use the tanks, except the valved gray water tank. We carry our water in separate containers so there no need to move the rig to refill the too small water tank. And of course we don't have to deal with that nasty Black water problem ever, as we carry bikes and use the CG facilities. So think about taking a trip or two before you invest in tanks. you may find you don't want the hassle. Jack A2 |

They sell the same RV toilets for $89. I sounds like your plumbing froze in the winter. Is the toilet and tank cracked and leaking? What about the pump, fresh water tank, hot water heater, and the rest of the plumbing? All OK? Jack A2 Jack |

Jack, we are like family here so I can disagree with you and
still be friends, I hope. Your Toyota camper must be a lot smaller than my 21' Sunrader. I can go 4 or 5 days with the water I carry in my tank, and the holding tanks last me a week or more. I think the whole purpose of having a motorhome is to use the toilet, shower, sink, furnace, water heater, etc. and enjoy the luxury that we paid for. If I could not use the holding tanks I would not want a camper. I am with Dick on repairing these items so they can be used.

Walker1, Howard
I agree with Jack I use mine consistantly , Its not that much bother to stop
when you see a plact to revill. When in a camp with facilities we use them mostly except in the middle of the night calls. Works well so far --10 years with self contained units. C.
