Will make a couple of tanks if they work and alternate them.

This afternoon I glued my toilet drain system in place. I changed completely what my original plan was. I have reduced the diameter of my vent tube and have it as a seperate off shoot of the 3" toilet drop.

I now have a mounted toilet. All I need to do now is finish the water delivery to it and I will be done with the plumbing.

I added AC to my trailer today. It has been so very hot lately I did not do anything on my trailer for a couple of weeks. Now that it is cool inside I can finish it up.

:thumbsup: to the A/C. I wish I was at that point. I look out the window at my trailer every so often and wish it wasn't so hot. :cry:

Looking great! :applause:

When it was in the low 90s I was working in the garage and it was probably near 100 in the garage. One time I got a little dizzy so when it reached into the 100s I drew the line and took a break. I really am glad with my layout with purposes of AC placement. Because it is up high and away from the bed some of the loudness of it is reduced. When I stand up it is pretty loud but when I lay down on the bed with head away from the AC unit it is noticeably quieter to the ear. Plus I am not a fan of having an AC blow directly on me.


Probably you and I if we got up earlier and were diligent we could get time working on the trailers in the early morning. hopefully we will get a cool down soon and you can get back on it.

Here is the bathroom finished. after fixing a hose leak on the toilet itself I finished sealing off the shroud and installed the other accessories. Then after completion I found myself needing to use the toilet so since I had the water all hooked up and the storage tank in place I took care of business in my trailer. Liquid not solid. Well you have to test it at some point right? All works great!

I left out lots of information. Like why the toilet paper roll is mounted so high. :D

I thought about that and the towel and remembered that you had written about all that before. From memory, wasn't it because you have a shower curtain that shields them from the shower water? If you put a hook on the outside of the shower door, you can put a bath towel there and it won't be difficult to grab it when your shower is done. But, you probably already thought about that. You have a well thought-out build. :thumbsup:
