Q. for Wally

[wally anderson]

> Hey Wally,,,, you makin that new tank a little taller for a bit more poop capacity????

Oh yes, should be about 38 gallons. Need that black tank to have more capacity than fresh tank. Talked to Dale Ropp and his FRP black tank is 40
gallons and has 120 and 12 volt heaters.
Matt Colie is my fiberglass mentor.
Working on top fittings right now and stalled at the bathroom 2" connection. That one has a O ring that seals on the pipe for a slip fit. I found it
has 2" straight pipe thread and won't fit the bung I made with taper thread. Interesting that it appears to have a GM part number on it. The other two
connection are taper pipe thread.

do you have a link or description to this black tank? With the idea to
get a 23 footer to Europe, a heated black tank is a must

Dale built it himself and told of it in a West System epoxy seminar at a GMCMI rally. Don't know of any pictures or links.

Tank heaters are common rv items. Heating pad that just sticks to tank.

Alot to rely on though.

You could maybe find a waterbed heater at the thrift store or elsewhere and contact cement it to the bottom of the tank. Cheap when new and
thermostatically controlled, but will need 110V to operate...probably could be powered from a decent inverter though, and only about a 16th inch
thick.
