Also there is the fresh water tank itself of course

SCOTTinNJ · 03-20-2017, 07:41 AM

Couple of questions:

1. Does anyone know where the tanks are located in a 2014 30' bunk? I am moving my table from the standard location to the "front bedroom" area. In fact I'm moving the entire dinette there. The table for the screws look to be long enough to penetrate through the subfloor. Don't want to hit anything below. I doubt there is a tank there, but figured I'd ask.

2. Where have people installed solar? I haven't gotten up on the roof to measure (it's full of snow right now), but I'm thinking either 2x100 or 3x100. Could also do 2x160 if they'll fit. Looking to see where the best spot might be. I'm going to utilize the prewire so can't go much above 300w. My inclination is to put one panel on one side and the second on the other to "split the difference" and always have one panel toward the sun (from either side), but I'm interested to hear counter-arguments. Perhaps lining up the panels on the street side and then trying to orient the trailer that way is better?

Getting the narrower 100 watt AM Solar panels allowed us to get nine on the roof of our 2014 31' Classic. We had four on each side outboard of the A/C units and one in the middle forward.

Could you have fit the larger 100w panels outboard of the A/C?

I'm looking to put between 2 and 4 panels.

The constraint is the width. The AM Solar GS-100 panels we used still allowed one's hands between the solar panel and the A/C shroud for maintenance.

We removed the original crank-up television antenna on both trailers and gained a spot for the front panel on the 23D. We installed the Winegard Rayzar antenna which allows for TV in strong signal areas. For us, most TV is now rubbish, so books and DVD movies are our preferred entertainment.

That does look tight.

Troutboy · 03-30-2017, 11:51 AM

Scott, I just put 500W, five of the am solar on my new 2017 23D. I couldn't lay it out like Switz did above, I was planning to, but the roof was different in terms of spacing, and vents and such. I plan to post on another thread tonight my install process, and will post a picture here if you want. I essentially put three in a row in the curbside, and two up front on the street side. I was able to get two of them up against the AC unit on the side, with room for maintenance.

I'm just here to say heeeeey all!!

Because in theory, I *MAY* be upgrading to a new bunkhouse, is there any folks on here that have a 2015 and above model following this thread? I really want to glean from any and all owners of the ducted models to find out if they have had any real headaches as a result of having the AC units within this configuration.

Thanks!

No decision will be made till mid june at least...but if anyone knows me, I can certainly think out loud heavily until a decision is made.

I am happy to chat about my 2015. PM with time and number or I can reply with mine.

The mods continue. Decided to replace the lounge with a full length countertop.

Yes. Some have. I'll try to grab a link for you but look at big_big_trip on instagram.

I have a 2014 bunk and my fresh water tank monitor never really worked well. I was ok with that using the grey and black to estimate fresh.

Now the grey tank monitor has completely shut down leaving me only with the black tank working.

I pulled the display and the wires all seem intact. I'm thinking the connection at the tank may be dislodged.

Does anyone know exactly where on a 2014 bunk the tank monitor sensors are? I was thinking of cutting a hole in the galvanized cover under the trailer and having a look. My preference would be to cut one hole and then patch it. I don't really want to cut one or more exploratory holes first.

Anyone ever open one of these up and know for sure?

JennyJakeNH · 05-01-2020, 11:48 PM

Hi,

We are starting to consider a composting toilet, and more grey water capacity is the primary driver (that and less water wasted by the macerating toilet).

We’ve searched several posts and are 95% sure the grey and black tanks are at the same level and can be combined by a simple twist on valve added to the dump opening. However, can anybody definitely confirm that for us and potentially share any first hand experience combining and/or using a composting toilet in the 30FB?

PS - Our bunk is a 2019.

Thanks - J

I'm posting in this thread too even though my bunkhouse is a 2005 as I think our bathrooms are set up the same (duplicate of: https://www.airforums.com/forums/f29...ml#post2575372)

Has anyone ever removed this cabinet under the bathroom sink and toilet?

I have a fresh water leak somewhere under this but I cannot seem to figure out how to go farther than this. I have removed all of the screws along the back edge near the wall and that edge of the cabinet is clearly loose.

Yes, I know I need to unscrew the toilet flange from the black tank, but beyond that, it seems that the front side (vertical) is attached to something, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what and where. I have stuck my hand in through the heat hole and found some corner supports and angle brackets, but there are no screws that I can feel (let alone get in there with a screwdriver or drill),

I would like to avoid complete destruction in order to fix my water leak, but I'm kinda at that point that saws and chisels are going to come out.
