Thanks all you guys for the information on the rear weight distribution. In that I have the coach gutted and a new water tank on hand I have decided to turn the tank 90 degrees so it runs across the area that will be under the perm. bed. A small adjustment and maybe it will make some difference.

Now to plumb the water lines, pump, accumulator, tankless hot water heater, thermostatic shower valve and so forth.

Got the waste plumbing working. Used Ikea bathroom basin waste piping that has the trap at the back running north/south. This means I have a full under vanity space with no plumbing getting in the way. (especially in that the old defunct hot water tank now resides in the Calgary landfill)

I have organized a guillotine valve to direct the kitchen and bathroom waste to a bucket under the propane area when boon-docking and by opening the valve direct the waste to the holding tank when in civilization.

But what do I do with the engine hot water line the fed the old hot water tank,? Put in an auxiliary heater somewhere back the? Anybody done anything like that?
