Quick fix for the old buses that overfill there black water tank. - Jon - 05-05-2007 04:03 I made up this unit this week to help out when we are camping out in an area that doesn't have a sewer hook up. It cost around 80 dollars for material and it works great! I made it intentionally so that I could take it oft and on within a minute or so. Now I can cross connect my two tanks and not over fill my black water tank. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y4/1942dodge/DSC01975.jpg Jon 1978 Wanderlodge Bremerton Washington Quick fix for the old buses that overfill there black water tank. - Gardner Yeaw - 05-05-2007 13:36 Jon, My '78 was fitted with a permanent setup like yours by a PO (but it is under the coach). I always thought it was just to allow using only one hose for the hookup. I have a grey water dump valve, a black water dump valve, and one in the center of the pipe that traverses between. The dump hose connects on one end of the pipe that traverses. I am not sure I would want to route it to the grey water tank, but then with todays regulations and practices, I wonder why coaches are made with two tanks anyway. Your house dumps into one septic/sewer, why should your motorhome be different. I realize that some boondockers may dump the grey water on the ground, but it is no longer considered an acceptable practice in most areas of the country.
