Scamp Grey Water Tank Installation

[mariafrommitten]

We have a 16', 2017 Scamp (layout 7). We ordered the Scamp Grey Water tank from the website but having trouble understanding how to install it. Any tips/ recommendations/ thoughts?

Appreciate it!

It is screwed to the floor at the flanges and banded to the frame. I picked up a new tank for a friend when I got my Scamp and it came with the discharge in pieces so that you could aim the discharge where ever you wanted. You will need to cement it, I think with stranded PVC cement from the local board store. I do not recall if the input was in place. The picture is taken from the rear and the orange/ clear 45 elbow was added by me for better access. (note that the discharge has a support also)

There should be two hose bib fittings on the top of the tank that come through the floor under the dinette bench inside the frame rails. One is for the sink drain input, the second is for the vent. A hose attaches to the vent fitting loops up then exits back through the floor on the outside the frame rail. There should be a hose bib fitting under the floor on the tank for the shower drain that may need to caped if you don't have a shower drain. The large drainpipe is usually sealed in the tank with RTV/ silicone. (I use black.) Most importantly, cut a wood block (2x6) and attach it to the underside floor and form fit it to the drainpipe and secure the pipe to your block with pipe strapping. You want a good solid support for your drainpipe.

The heavy strapping, I got from a lumberyard, it was used to band landscaping timbers. I bolted the straps the floor drop metal and rear floor angle iron support.
