Sometimes I have had to travel with tanks that could not be drained at the campground. I have the brochure and it has almost no information on specifications. Appreciate any information on 2720 SL or SD.
Thanks

The standard fresh water tank is 20 gallons. Some models (e.g. 3023) can be equipped with dual fresh water tanks for a total of 40 gallons. The 2720SL and SD can not be equipped (at least not easily) with a secondary fresh water tank due to the front slide design. The standard fresh water tank on these models is under the sink.
The toilet is a recirculating marine type toilet which has a maximum internal capacity of around 6 gallons. It drains directly into the sewer outlet pipe and therefore neither needs nor has a black water tank.
Because the toilet is of the recirculating variety...and needs no fresh water for each flush, the trailer does not need to have nearly as large a fresh water supply as an equivalent sized trailer that has a standard RV flush toilet.
