Would a blue tote and a sewer cap like this or this help you extend your gray capacity?

Yeah, I was just anxious to take my first shower in the trailer and was worried if there was enough hot water... forgot about the holding tanks, except to be very consevative... GI style. I think the tank was probably almost full when I started. The capacity is 13 gallons and I emptied almost 15 out when I noticed the leaking under the trailer.

How would these caps help? Are they so you can run a hose into a free standing holding tank?

Thanks, Pam

Right. You'd leave the grey wastegate open and attach a short length of garden hose from the cap running into a blue tote. Most campsites prohibit dumping grey water on the ground but individual practices vary widely (eg, trickling out commonly done in the quiet of night... ). A partly full blue tote is much easier to horse up into a TV to take away to dump.

I can only imagine the tank capacity problems if the grandkids are using too.

Most Airstreams use Thetford fittings like this one. The others look the same, but they are a slightly different size.

Just wanted to say how beautiful your cabinets are. Great job, and looks like it was well worth the cost.
