So after owning this rig for 12 years I've finally decided to rework the
bedroom.
The bed is so high that it's difficult for me at '6'4" to climb over She
Who Goes To Bed First. It's time to lower it back down a ways. At
least a couple inches. And also redesign the glued-up, heavy mess that
was supporting the mattress. A PO had done some major work back here in
the past. It's time it gets fixed.
The most interesting thing is the "grey water tank".

Both sinks drain into this mass of 4" tubing. One of those big tubes
going towards the bathroom is the vent. At some point I might actually
take a whack at calculating the volume but suffice to say we don't need
more than 10 gallons. Mostly dish water over 5 days, max. I figure I
can do this same basic thing but actually make it removable instead of
all glued in. My PO loved him some Liquid Nails and fiberglass.
I would really like to see what this area looks like in an unmodified
Side-bath 230. I'm going to go my own way, because I only have so many
choices, but it would be a good thing to know.
And I'm not 100% sure this is the right water tank.

The only thing holding it in place was the various hoses. Not a single
strap holding it down. I find it hard to believe that GMC installed
them with no form of retention.
Anyway... this should take me a while. Hope to have it all back up and
running by April or so. Winter projects are just so much fun.
