The new holding tanks that I got from Jim at Applied are very well made. So cracks aren't in my future. But to help that goal. I'm going to put 3 inch rubber connectors between the tanks, and drain pipes. And have all hanging supports attached to the body only. Since all input pipes are also attached to the body. Then the issue of how to hang the tanks securely to the body. Got many ideas from the net. Then went with my first idea. The coach is striped out. I went with countersinking 3/8 carriage bolts in the floor. Then ran 1/8th by 1.5 inch aluminum angle under the tanks. Thus with the rubber connectors. I can change the plumbing simply, and completely at any time without disturbing the tanks. As a side note. This GMC had the engine totally rebuilt in 1994 by a very good engine shop here in town. Then parked next to a machine shed, and a corn field in 1995. In that year. It got 1880 miles put on the clock. So it sat there for 20 years totally un touched. The holding tank drain valves were opened completely at that time. YES. Both holding tanks were packed with more mouse nest. What a total surprise. Bob Dunahugh78 Royale Mouse house
