RE: [RC] Silver Star frame/bracing... what gives?!?!? - David Bennett

Mike - 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..

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.
