Re: [A/S] Airstream Dumping




Hi Jack,

In the not so past, at the International in Vermont, there was talk of 
a old guy with an even older trailer (not parked in Vintage) who put a 
pail under his trailer to collect the black water and every morning 
dumped it in the men's bathroom!!!!

My 54 Flying Cloud came with a toilet that flushed right to the ground. 
I, of course, had to spend the big bucks at the plant to have a 
grey/black tank installed as I am not brave (or stupid) enough to do 
the same thing! Before I had the tank installed I rigged up a L shaped 
piece of PVC pipe attached to that opening that I could put the "stinky 
slinky" on for disposal at campgrounds. HIGHLY illegal setup that no 
one noticed for the six months before the BIG remodel at the plant. On 
the road I had to remove the PVC pipe and there was no way I could 
figure out how to cap the opening so I drove from place to place with 
open air under the toilet! (makes you wonder what others do with their 
oldies huh?)
