Running Dual Black Tanks.....
Howdy I'm designing a compact travel trailer which is focused on extended dry camping and crossing the USA. I'm liking the layout that I have but due to small size I've got the combo shower/toil...

Comment is that gravity is your friend. Macerator pump is a complexity that solves a problem but that will break eventually.
Get different shapes for the tanks and put all freshwater and black water by the axles.
I'm picturing longer, flatter tanks situated so the longest stretch of the tanks are situated fore and aft.
This configuration balances all water over the axles, changes the location of the head to over the axle as well (move closet up front), eliminates macerator and is self baffling as they are long, skinny tanks situated "fore and aft" in orientation.
Thanks. I can appreciate this since I've had a flojet external macerator for a long time. They do wear eventually.... When working though they do work pretty well.
The tanks I have selected are 54" x 27" x 9" at deepest. Do you mean even longer and skinnier than that?
Maybe I need to try a 4th version of my layout again and try to massage it into submission. Being DIY, I won't be using some of the clever space saving stuff of a typical small RV. Bad back means I need a real bed. Right now I'm planning a murphy bed but it doesn't help with creating space for the bathroom "amidships".
thanks for comments.
