Separate fresh water and sewer compartments.

I am 6 days into a 7 day stay and gray is showing full (probably have 6-10 gal space remaining knowing where the gauge is) and 1/3 black. If I could transfer some of the gray into the black I could buy more time without having to dump or use a barker tank. Secure transfer of course could be done without black to gray contamination, not that it matters but I guess someone is sensitive about it. But allow gray to black transfer gives me 45 gal more capability of gray if needed on my VTDP.

We wash our dishes in a basin in the sink , then remove it and dump it down the toilet. A bit of help while boondocking.

And when you remove the cap to attach your hose????

Yeah... that's what I was wondering too.....
The only way I see that working is to add a knife valve on the outlet.

You would have quart of crap poring out all over your hands [emoji724][emoji90]

knife valve on the outlet and the stinky slinky , then no mess on your hands . Mess goes into the slinky which is capped on sewer end .

If you had the sancicon you could run a garden hose into your toilet.

DEF fill near the fuel fill so you don’t need to pull ahead to add DEF while the trucker behind you gives you the look....

I have the Turbo and have often wondered how that would work. Do you just flush the toilet permanently? At home we have a dump outlet so not really a problem but have spent days at friend’s homes on the road and wondered how we’d use that capability. One had one of those “blue” wagons we towed to a dump and for the other we had to drive to a dump and return. Anybody actually done this by connecting to the outlet at the cap end of the Sanicon?

I guess you guys aren't very handy, but I could have been clearer.

First, I attach a clear 45 degree adapter and cap that. Open the grey first, then the black. As soon as the flow begins to slow, close the black valve. You can catch the extra grey water with a 2 gallon bucket and dispose of it. A little grey water won't hurt you.

We do the same. The dishwashing soap is also good for black tank health.

How would you heat the line from the front of the coach to the ATS during cold weather operations??

Let them look.

I wish I had a big DECAL inside the DEF compartment that says...

"DEF"

I usually start the diesel pump...then run back and open the door on my DEF compartment. If a trucker is trying to figure out whom to line up behind...if he saw a big DEF sticker facing him...he might elect to go behind someone else. He'd have a clue, that I'm going to pull up and fill DEF after pumping diesel. That's all I can do...it's just alert them. I can then use the open door as a cue of where to stop when I pull forward too.

I don't have to get DEF very often. I count 9 times since taking deliver in 2/16. And that's really because I don't like getting much DEF at once...so it's stays fresher.

That’s a good idea. I usually walk back and tell them I’ll be getting DEF after the diesel. I use 1 gallon of DEF every 210 miles. I took 10 gallons yesterday in 2100 miles. The DEF indicator inside showed the last green dot, 1/4 full.
