I have a 2000 Maverick and my brother has a 92 Shadow Cruiser, both, were built with a petcock at the tank and the drain tube goes straight out the bottom of the TC. Not a good setup when you want to drain your tank without unloading the camper. I modded mine to drain out the back.
El Camino Man: Your drain out the back, was probably done for this reason. Keep truck bed dry while draining the tank.
Tnx. for the info. Now that you said that, i remember someone having a drain issue where it poured onto the trucks beds and he had to re-route the line.
Like you said, not the best idea . Doing what you did was a much better idea .
El Camino Man , looks you found the fix, Pics are the way to go , there are so many configurations and home made fixes out there .
Good to see you are able to make the repair .
