We just received the toilet today, and the tank does not have a 3" outlet in the bottom like I expected. Is this something that I could add myself? If not does anyone have any recommendations on where to go to get this done?
Thanks in advance. |
Jim,
Soon, I am going to build a fiberglass holding tank for our TM. It will be 20" x 19.5" x 10" tall. It will have a standard RV toilet mounting plate on top, a 3/4" vent pipe in the top/back and I may even make a mounting for a Camco 40126 Tornado Rotary Tank Rinser. I will attach a PVC pipe to the bottom that can be glued or clamped (with a rubber coupling) down to the existing plumbing in the TM.
The bottom of the tank will be slightly sloped to the center of the tank for drainage. The thickness of the fiberglass will be about 1/4" on the sides and bottom and about 1/2" (with a 1/4" core) on top for strength, to mount the toilet.
I should end up with about a 13.5-14G capacity. A standard 12.5" high RV toilet will fit nicely.
I personally don't like tanks made out of polyethylene plastic. They crack over time and are impossible to repair to the original strength. Even when plastic welded. Fiberglass is far stronger and easily patched in the event that it cracks later down the road.
I intend to build the tank on a male mold. If it comes out as a hope, I'll let everyone know and I will keep the mold in case anyone else is interested.
