Plumbing area

[PhotoGuy]

I agree. We could you a pluming area. I am working on a back country trailer and will not be in campground or near public washrooms. I have to install a black water and fresh water tank.

I'm sure there are more out there like me.

Any headway on this?

Typicle vent is 1 1/2" through the roof, no reason it can't go through the side as high up the wall as possible.
But it may get a little odiferous on the side where the vent comes out if there is no breeze

I've installed quite a few of those vent filters in boats - they are a charcoal filter. You can make one last almost indefinitely (depending on how much you camp) if you remove it and keep it in a plastic bag between outings - it unthreads by hand like a hose fitting.

I hadn't thought about a plumbing section but it's a good idea. My own system is going to be pretty simple (probably just an inline pump and a jug with a separate muni faucet), but I'm happy to help with others' questions.

I am mounting a water tank from a camper just behind the axle under the floor of my trailer, do I need to mount the Pump below the level of the water ? or will it prime itself, after being drained for winterization. I would prefer to mount it in the trailer, because it does not appear to be designed for outdoor use

Most are self priming but to avoid making them run dry a very inexpensive check valve mounted low in the intake line will help keep the hose full by not allowing drainback to the tank.

P.S. look for the flow direction indicator and point it towards the faucet.

thank you, I did notice the flow direction, it is not marked as big as I would expect
