I want to take my truck and Palomino Bronco camper on the beach here on Cape Cod. All campers must be self contained with both Gray water and Black water holding tanks. My Bronco was equipped with a toilet and black water tank but did not have a gray water tank. I usually ran a hose from the sink into a Gerry can outside the truck. This is not allowed on the Cape Cod beaches.
I went to the Dollar store and bought a 5 gallon, clear container and installed it next to my battery where I had previously 3 storage containers:
Being clear I'll be able to observe when it is getting full. I fabricated a fitting for the drain hose from some PVC fitting I had kicking around.
Now what to do with the three storage containers that used to live here:
Mount them to the ceiling. Using some oak I had hanging around I made a few "tracks" to suspend them from the ceiling:
Now I just need to figure out a way to secure them so they don't fall out when traveling.
Any Ideas???
How about using a hangar bolt (wood screw on one end/ machine screw on the other) screwed into your ceiling mounted hangers, parallel to the ceiling. Then cut a piece of wood about 6" long, drill a hole in it to fit over the hanger bolt, then secure it with a wing nut for fast removal. Just a thought.
