I understand the 74 has g&b tanks?
Where is the fresh tank located?

I realize people use totes but how does it exit the drain pipes.
Is it connected to the black tank pipe bypassing the tank? Fittings? ]]> bwaysteve http://www.airforums.com/forums/f444/newbie-gray-water-question-58371.html Attention New to Airstream owners - sewer line outlet info - Thetford sewer systems http://www.airforums.com/forums/f444/attention-new-to-airstream-owners-sewer-line-outlet-info-thetford-sewer-systems-58317.html Mon, 09 Nov 2009 01:46:46 GMT I thought I'd bring this to the attention of the people who are just buying their first Airstream trailers. Not all of the trailers will have the universal size outlets for the sewer drain line connection. If the dump hoses you're buying at the store [camper dealers or where ever] don't fit, don't be alarmed. In fact, you should check the outlet cap [the name will be formed in to the cap] before you go to get your new hose. If you have a Thetford system - as I do - you will need to get an adapter. Don't get discouraged, it's an easy, and cheap [$10 or less] fitting to get. Go to a camper dealer and tell them you need the adapter for a Thetford sewer system. It's best if you take your cap to match up to the adapter [to the inside dimension]. After numerous trips, and a bunch of dumb looks from the younger counter help, and older man at Chesaco RV realized that what I had, and sold me the adapter I needed [$6.99]. ]]> Catman6 http://www.airforums.com/forums/f444/attention-new-to-airstream-owners-sewer-line-outlet-info-thetford-sewer-systems-58317.html Valterra dual dump valve part number? http://www.airforums.com/forums/f444/valterra-dual-dump-valve-part-number-58309.html Sun, 08 Nov 2009 22:42:44 GMT Anyone know this part number?

I have a spare valve which was left in trailer by PO. Appears to right valve but also appears to missing O rings. W/O O rings outlet side of valve does not fit well in to a new 3" long sweep T-Y so am wondering how they glued valve to pipe? Would rather not glue up replacement so w/ O ring do pipe and valve seal correctly?

Also anyone know where to get O rings or best to just buy a whole new valve from Inland RV or anyone else?
