Back in Fort Myers Beach and playing gigs. Working on bus, put in new laminate floating floor today only have small section in bed room to finish, put vinyl stick down strips in bath area that looks like wood. debating on getting one new roof ac first since both of mine don't work. or starting on cabinets next. I guess I can always use fans for a couple weeks. I met a guy today in a purple MCI that owns a bus company in massachusettes that has some brand new old stock body panels and parts for many Gm's hope to get new bay door skins from him. I'll post some pictures soon of my progress. I could use some help on a way to pump water in my vanity drain into my grey water tank. I'm putting it on the opposite side and have to drop it down below my center channel and back up to floor hight. I seen a post earlier on this type of thing but not on drain I don't think. | ||

if you use 1 1/2 or 2" pipe, the whole thing will act like a giant "P" trap.....shouldn't really have any problems, unless you run a huge amount of water...just make sure the vanity has it's own vent, or it will siphon dry.... | ||

Hmm - jimmci9's idea might work. If you keep the pipe on the vanity side tight to the floor (with some slope) and when you cross under your center, leave the pipe offset a couple of inches or so from the floor (what ever the tank height allows) you might just make a p-trap out of it. I'd mock it up outside the bus and test the thoery though... :-) | ||

(" I could use some help on a way to pump water in my vanity drain into my grey water tank ") The Marine industry sells those sumps that use the bilge pumps, or you could make your own. If you put a water level (auto start for pump) you won't have to run a switch every time you wash you hands. Need a tank or sealed 5gal bucket under the sink cabinet, where the pump resides, you can use a hose from the bilge pump, under the floor to the grey tank. ASSuming your grey tank is in the basement storage area, you won't have much problem connecting to the tank. If you are combining your GREY with your BLACK tank, you may need to add a check valve to keep the nasty water out of the tubing from the Grey-Black tank. The tank under the sink would act like your P-Trap so you could vent the tank/bucket with another hose by running up to the top of the cabinet (below the counter top) then down under the floor and outside. Grey usually does not create a smell. Don't forget drains for the tank/bucket and the tube low spot for Winter storage. Very do-able cd | ||

I park my bus across the street from junkanoos just a little south till the city runs me off then I find a new spot. jtng they are dometics and you can have them but you have to pick them up when I remove them. one blows but not cold the other doesn't do anyting. | ||

Ron, it's unusual that the AC won't do anything at all. Before you remove a perfectly good "carbuncle", get out your meter & see if there's 120 volts at the unit. Also could be a bad switch. Jim-Bob | ||

It's worth nothing to me. you can have them for free. if you want to help remove them and put in the new ones that would be great. where are you jtng? but I have no place to store them and they are too heavy and not worth shipping so you have to be here when I do it or they go in trash. Jack come on down I can find you a spot for a few days especialy if your able to boon dock. jim bob I had a hvac guy look at them last year before I left fla and he said they were not worth fixing so I'm going to take his word for it. | ||
