RE: [A/S] pix of Cheap 67 Safari/a/c



Why don't you just get one of those wheeled blue tanks from Camping World 
or Camper's Choice?  Keep it inside the trailer when traveling, and beneath 
the trailer when you're at a campsite.  They have a 3" connection for a 
standard sewer hose, or a garden hose connection if that's what you want to 
do.  The fancier ones even have a valve for draining it.  Be sure to keep 
the black-tank valve closed when using it.  We used one on our 1972 Safari, 
with a minimum of inconvenience.   Just don't get too big of a tank - 
remember, water weighs almost 8 pounds per gallon.  So, a full 25 gal tank 
will weigh around 200 lb - and you'll have to lift half of that - 100 lb - 
to move it.
