Ifyou want to be able to camp "self-contained" it sure is. More than ever in fact: you can't just let the grey water trickle out onto the ground, since it's illegal to do that anywhere I can think of.
If you never camp anywhere but RV parks, then yes, you can do without it.

Are there Pre made tanks to go in the hole I already have?
I am going to have to add this to my sub conscious list of things to do

Okay.
The first year Sovereigns had grey tanks was 1973, usually as 1974 models. They were a whopping 10 gallon capacity, but had the advantage of easily going in the space under the floor, beneath the bathtub. You can get one to go in there, and get one up to about 25 gallon capacity, though it's not a good idea to tow any real distance with the tank full.
A better alternative these days is to get a "generic" grey tank, and mount it, say between the axles. It's a simple plumbing matter, running an ABS pipe the same diameter of what you already have up to the top of the new tank, putting in a vent, and installing a drain pipe and dump valve. If you went that route, you could simply put a Tee in the drain pipe that goes from the kitchen sink straight down to the top of the new grey tank.

Now comes the trick part making the custom shower & moutning the toilet. then monting the bumper & cuting the frame back then making the trunk area
So far the POLY is great its a little heavier than wood but it will NEVER rot.

A simple plumbing matter? I'd hate to see what you call a complex one, Terry!

Inland RV sells an exact replacement 1969 black tank. You'll need someone to make you a new sheet metal pan for it since yours is likely rotted away like ours was.
