RE: [RC] Silver Star frame/bracing... what gives?!?!? - David BennettMike - What I did is to use a shower/toilet pan that came with a flat blackwater tank mounted beneath the toilet. It raises the toilet off of the floor level about 6 inches but that doesn't matter because access to it is in the shower. That let me drill a hole through the floor for the outlet (3-1/2" ???) . Then it just sat on top of the floor. Hardest part was arranging a vent pipe. My sink also goes into the blackwater tank. I've not had a problem with lack of capacity. The shower drain goes to a separate outlet into the greywater tank. The whole thing fit in the corner that was otherwise not very usable because of the angle of the slant wall. It would have been a real pain to have to cut under the bottom skin to mount a blackwater tank. Oh, I also bought one of those blue tanks with wheels to use for extra storage and transfer to the dump station when needed.... The whole point of that is to minimize stuff hanging under the trailer. It is bad enough just having an outlet with a valve. There were a couple of camping/riding places where I went this year that would have caused me to rip an under-floor tank right off the trailer.. Dave Mike wrote: I have an '02 Silver Star and was wondering how I'd install the black water tank. I'm wondering even more, now. The bottom of the trailer, beneath all the flooring, doesn't have crossmembers in the traditional sense. Silver Star used some other method of bracing the floor. Not sure how to describe it, but I see no possible way to mount a black water tank under the trailer between frame supports. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
