Random tangent about holding tanks;
My first few campers were a ‘67 Security 8’ then a ‘69 Security 10’.
The sinks had their drains connected to a hose that just dumped straight overboard, there were no waste tanks. That’s how they were into the early ‘70s.
The first one I had with holding tanks rather than dumping right overboard was a 1976 Western Wilderness.
The ‘69 10’ had a bathroom with a “recirculating” toilet, fairly common at the time.
When you flushed it, it just swirled everything around but it didn’t go anywhere.
I had a 1972 Caveman 11’ that had a toilet that slid out of a closet up forward… it was literally just a stainless steel can with a toilet seat on top of it.
