Outfitter camper

I believe Outfitter now installs only manual holding tank valves on their campers. Bob told me they did that because the electric ones were unreliable. My 20ll with cassette and 7.5CF NovaKool compressor fridge (375W solar and many other options and modifications) has a manual valve for the grey tank (cassette doesn't need one). Please check with Outfitter to confirm. You can also get a new Apex 8.5 with a four 6V battery capacity compartment located under the rear dinette seat. - 460AH. You can't beat an Outfitter for features, customization, capability, storage room, off-road capability, and comfort in a pop-up! They are not cheap, but for what you get are price competitive. Terry

PS. The bed-drawer is a perfect large clothing storage drawer - meets the storage needs for for the two of us for any length trip we undertake and will handle clothes for three when we have someone on the dinette bed.

Interesting idea. On ours I had Bob install full length drawer slides (to handle the weight) and use it as a pantry. I did end up also eventually having to reinforce the drawer-face to drawer mounting, as it was never designed to keep that much mass from moving.


OP, when the cassette option is chosen there are three things that can be done with the former black tank location.
1: Extra fresh water tank
2: Extra gray tank
3: Outside storage area.

We went with the outside accessible storage compartment as that was the only storage type the Apex is a bit lacking in. Since we pretty much only camp in remote locations a larger gray tank capacity wasn't needed as it is easy to dump when needed. For additional fresh water I bring a couple 5 gallon SCEPTER cans to refill my tank if needed. They also allow me to source water away from the camper if needed.
