Plumbing vent options? side wall?

[evy]

Hi everyone,

I'm working on my very first DIY camper conversion, using a 2010 extended Ford E250.

I have a quick question for you experts.

I'm planning the plumbing and I was looking at my roof today, trying to figure out where I would install the plumbing vent, my pipe would be hidden in my kitchen's top cabinet and would come out over it, the problem is I already installed my roof rack with a welded grill on top, the only way to install a vent would be to cut a round hole in the top grill and install it through the whole no problem BUT! it would be sticking out of the top grill by about a 1-1/2" and it would be right where my kayak would sit...

Can I install a roof vent on the side of the wall behind that same kitchen cabinet? when I'm driving if water comes in, it would simply end up in the tank right?

Ok I have a crazy idea, maybe I could use a bath overflow as a vent on the side wall.

Goofy as it sounds, the longer I think about it and try to think of anything better, that tub overflow looks like it should work. Maybe drop the rubber gasket in favour of some butyl-based caulk or window tape.

Where does the waste water go? You might be able to use an undersink vacuum screw on vent. Around $5 and no holes thru camper.
Some one will come along with the actual name of the vent I am referring to.

I know what you mean, I think it would work when I'm hooked up in a camp site but I don't think it would work when I'm boondocking, when water is going into the tank the air has to exit through the vent and those things only let air in not out.
