shelf for outside
My trailer came with a quick detach bracket on the side under the awning, and a propane BBQ grill that sets on it. I never use that grill. I thought I would re-purpose the bracket to make a smal...

Very nice mod.
But what make and model of trailer is that?
It seems strange that the black water flush and the exhaust for your heater would be on the same side of the trailer as your awning. And as others have said, also very strange that the BW access is right behind where your bbq or your table would go.
Don't most trailers have BW flush and heater vent on the "back side" of the trailer? Are your BW and GW dumps also on the awning side?
I suspect they put the BW flush right there, because it was the closest, cheapest easiest place to put it. Right behind that wall is the head, so that puts the loop and the check valve for that fitting under the sink in the head, and right above the black tank.
Had they put this fitting on the streetside where the fresh fill, city connection etc is, they would have needed to spend, oh what, maybe three dollars or so to run a hose to the back of the trailer. And we all know they ain't gonna spend three bucks if they can avoid it.
A black tank flush is a gimmick as far as I'm concerned. I'm really not all that interested if my black tank is that clean inside. So I never use it.
I guess I don't see the "problem" with having that fitting by the BBQ. It's not like it's unsanitary....it's an inlet valve where water goes inward. It has a check valve. Nothing "dirty" is associated with the fitting.
The dump valves are over on the streetside, right behind the rear tire.
This trailer is a FunFinder ( Cruiser RV ) 189FDS, year 2012
