OP here finally getting back to the topic.
I think that using fresh tank pump only is a great solution.
HOWEVER, after looking online at many new TT there are plenty of them that have a fresh tank LARGER than the grey tank. Some are 2x the size! That obviously would not be a solution then. So if the fresh is less than the grey - that is a no brainer.
After reading that it would be illegal to dump waste (tub) water on the ground, just like emptying grey tanks, by using an overflow drain makes sense that manufacturers wont install them. So DIY mod it is!
Now about the TT itself and keeping it as a salvage rv as some suggested...
We went to see it Saturday. Underbelly opened and dry, insulation out. Lano floor peeled back a by entry door and under cabinet sink.
Insurance was dragging their feet so body shop only would do mitigation (stop loss) damage prevention. That means drying it out.
It was still damp. I stuck my arm as far as I could under the linoleum and the plywood was damp. Black mold dots already forming on a little area of the ply.
Shop recommended removing the cabinets. The fridge & furnace area. The bunks and pretty much pulling EVERYTHING out and opening the walls. Then remove the entire lano floor. Dry it out. Spray bleach. Then put it back together.
Insurance wouldn't pay for that. They were complaining about the work that was alredy done and wouldn't approve further stop-loss work. Thus, they declared a total loss.
They also wished to prevent FUTURE damage after all repairs were completed - just in case some mold was missed and I put in another claim down the road.
Those here suggesting drying it out with a fan, or using a shop vac, have no idea how extensive all the water was. Hours of running water everywhere.
Yes, the TT would be a great salvage for someone willing to do all the work.
I *could* even do it myself as I am a home improvement contractor.
However, do I want to? Do I want to spend weeks of the little free time I do have doing this big project? Hell NO! There goes my summer. My time with family. My time camping.
Dont care what they give me for it, and the chance that it might still mold in the future, is 100% NOT worth it to me.
Dont have the time, desire, gumption, or patience to deal with all that BS, hoping that it all *may* go smoothly and work out in the end.
Skarew that. RVs are supposed to be used to relax, not add stress.
I am going to take the money an run.
