[A/S] grey water tank - mini

[Terry Tyler <tylerbears@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Steve,

Two other points. After finding the PVC pipe cracked when I went to use 
it the first time at a rest area, I realized there was insufficient 
flexibility between the blackwater outlet and the street side frame 
hole. In my attempt to build everything tight and strong, I created too 
much rigidity.

I cut the PVC pipe in the middle and discarded 6" from the middle 
thereby creating two shorter sections where there had been one long 
section. I then inserted a 6" long rubber hose/tube (3" diameter 
stretched) between the two sections to maintain the same length as when 
there was one piece of PVC pipe. Next, I secured each rubber end to 
both pieces of PVC pipe with two hose clamps. That settled that hash. 
Even after several cross continent round trips, there have been no 
cracks.

A later modification was to add a couple feet of strap aluminum wrapped 
around the PVC pipe and connected to metal near the blackwater outlet 
(where I could reach). This little addition secured the blackwater 
connection so it can't jiggle open and dump the grey water inside the 
hose carrier area. Enough said.  <grin>

These two minor refinements did the trick. The final solution was no 
different than what fathers in all countries teach their sons: 
attention to detail, organization and planning, thought before action. 
Persistence pays.
