Go to the vintageairstream.com website, in the photo resource section of
Vintage Airstream Trailers, there is a 1964 Airstream Ambassador
International. As the owner of this "as manufactured" trailer, I can set
your mind to rest about the fact it does have a below the floor black water
holding tank as built by Airstream and not a gray water holding tank as
manufactured. The grey water drains through the same effluent hose
connection by means of a "Y" tail piece just outside the blackwater tank
valve and the large diameter effluent hose connects to this "Y" tailpiece.
In order to keep gray water from draining continuously, one must keep the
effluent hose connection capped as there is no valve for the gray water
discharge as Airstream built these units in 1964.
