I need some advise from all you guys that worked in the mechanical end of bus service. I am converting a 1966 Silver Eagle,{stop laughing, mines not THAT rusty} I plan on mounting a fresh water tank under the rear queen bed, since that is wasted space anyway. There are three removeable panels in the floor directly above the 8-71 engine. If I install the tank and bed as planned, What problems will be caused by not being able to get to the top of the motor any more?? I only see two small hoses, which I will replace with new soon.Is there anything that needs to be reached from the top?? How do others address this problem?? Thanks in advance for your help.

It is never a great idea to cover over access panels , but the water tank is very inexpensive to empty and if designed right can be removed as needed.
Design it to come out in 5 min , built in 3 inch dump valve ect ,hook up with unions, and you will probably never have to.

If the fresh water tank will be very large, you can install two tanks with the same storage capacity making the weight more manageable. on short trips you could valve out one tank and carry half the weight. Ihave the same plan for the space under my bed and will probably do exactly the same as you.-cd |
