Ha! Thanks. I'm having one little problem now though. I cross threaded the fresh tank output fixture and now it's leaking a little. I'm using a brass fitting and I'm wondering if I should just glue in a plastic, (ABS) fitting?

yep....that is certainly an option.

perhaps you could remove that cross-threaded fitting, detail it and the threads in the tanks and re-install it when perfectly dry using either some sealer or thread-tape...

It was funny, I took out the brass fitting that was cross threaded and screwed in a "plastic" fitting and it seemed like it went it straighter and didn't cross thread. I may give that a test today. If it does go in straighter and not cross threaded, AND doesn't leak, then I won't glue it.

Running water is a huge plus, I wouldn't have thought so but our 4 days on the road proved me wrong, I love it!! Let us know when where you are coming through Colorado, I am up in the Vail Valley and it is beautiful to be sure and lots of great destination within short striking distance.

I fixed the tank output from leaking but was bummed that I had spent so much time on it but the input was still leaking. It leaked when we got the rig so I suspected the hose had a hole in it. I checked it out and it didn't look hard to replace so today I did it. I discovered that the old hose has a spiral groove in it that allowed the water to easily run through, no matter how tightly it was clamped. I replace the hose with some different stuff and, Voila! No leaks!

Yeah! :rofl:
