Time to punt. I went to the local RV dealer and picked up a 30 gallon portable waste tank. One more thing to carry in the truck. It has the advantage that we will no longer be limited by the grey tank when staying for many days. Most of the campgrounds (state/federal) we stay in have electricity, but no sewer or water connection at the site. I can always carry 7 gallons of fresh water from the nearby spigot to refill the fresh tank, but hitching up to dump the grey is a lot of work. The "blue boy" style tank can just be hooked up to the hitch on the truck for an aromatic trip  to the dump station. |
I stand behind the answer in post #5. 4 years later, and absolutely no sign of any leak in the black tank. Actually the fix is probably stronger than the actual tank itself. No welding required.
