SOUNDGUY - Thanks for the tip on filling both aqua-tainers. I ran across this photo yesterday looking for my POPUP photo on google. ALmost looks like your trailer setup...
How did you connect the small interconnect hose. That area is the air port to keep pressure from building up inside the aqua-tainer container...
I've been on a variety of forums over the years so I have little doubt that's where the owner of that trailer got the idea, in fact I suspect I know who it is. ;)
To interconnect the two tanks I first carefully opened up the size of the tank vents with a drill for maximum flow then to use simply press fit a 5/8" I.D. clear hose over the threaded vent ports for each tank. Since Fleetwood popups had a threaded 1.5" grey water outlet on the side of the camper I started with a stock Home Depot plumbing adapter, connecting it to a length of 1.25" sump pump hose, which because of it's I.D. is self venting and eliminates the need for a vent stack. Here's a pic of that adapter ...

As for links to pics, I've got thousands related to all the various campers we've owned over the years but most are in private albums but any I currently want public on the web can be found by clicking on the link at the bottom of any of my posts. :)
