====== Waste Storage ======

One of the big things we have to think about for this conversion is waste tanks. We know that we want something to last a while. 

One of the things I noticed about a lot of the trailer conversion I have seen is how many of them sort of exclude a shower and/or toilet. 

If they have a toilet, then they do something like a cassette or compost toilet. Neither of those options were something the wife liked. If they had some sort of shower, a lot of them seem to just have a drain hole to the outside and no storage tank.  That was not option for us either. While we do go places that you could drain somewhere outside, there will be places that we go that we can not. 

So we have decided to install both a black and grey tank in our conversion. The trick is for the black tank, the toilet has to be over the black tank just like in normal travel trailer.  And the next trick is going to how to install the tanks we did get. Right now the plan is to build a platform for the shower and toilet area and have the tank underneath that platform. Going to lose headroom doing that. I will have to sit down to shower but I should be able to manage. 

The sink is the only place where we will have a separate small holding tank we can dump. We should be able to dump it either outside or in the shower or toilet. 

Hopefully these plans will pan out. Will update in a future post.
