Dave, what I meant was that the OEM installs don't even have the washer drain going into the tank at all. It just goes straight to the 3" outlet after the sewer valves. So, you'd need to be on full hookups with your hose attached for sure.

Thanks Dave...
Actually, I was planning on running the water as you had. I also thought I would dump into the rear grey water tank (there are two on this rig) as the grey is always open to the dump valve.. Either way - tieing up in the dump plumbing vs. going into the grey tank - if the slinky is not hooked up, the exhaust water from the washer would either backup into the dump plumbing, or if the grey dump valve is open, it would backup into the grey tank - right?
Or
I could just install another 3" dump tube and "Y" into the dump receptacle here at the park..
Easy is not always best though...

Got the kayak rack mounts and padding done today. Will see if the padding is tough enough to hold up. Both kayaks are strapped in and ready to go now. Picked up some 3/8 J bolts and ***** from ACE to hold it to the floor. Going to use the same method for the bike rack, which I cut down the final time today so it will play nice with the kayaks. New air compressor is hiding in front of the kayak rack, Flexzilla air hose will be here tomorrow! Think I'm close to ready to go to Florida now!

Still need to do the tote tank hose holder, and still debating doing the fantastic fan in the bathroom. I'd like to do a slide topper but some other things are keeping it out of the budget right now.

Fantastic Fan is a nice upgrade in the bathroom. Fantastic offer a variety of models and because we can access the fan (lower height) i installed the 3 speed, reversible model.
Nice change, moves quite a bit more air then the tiny little fan and is much quieter.

Thanks for the confirmation on that one guys! I do believe I'm going to spring for that. Been doing some research on which model, will be reversible at minimum, probably get the thermostat option too as it's only about $30 more. Though I'm still debating the fancy shiny remote controlled one..............................................
Decided the extra $100 for a rain sensor and remote I really don't need wasn't worth it, since I'm going to put a cover on it. Ordered the 2250 fan (reverse, t stat) and smoke fan cover. Neither were eligible for amazon prime so I had to get my *** in gear. Dropping trailer at dealer Saturday for inspection and a few other things. I'm not crazy about fooling with the roof so I'll have them do it.
Think I've managed to spend my Florida budget.................................Need a break from mods now!

I'd love to comply, but I keep coming up with more..........did this Christmas Eve before I had to cancel Florida. Much better than the old pins.
