Unsubbing...nothing personal, found a different type of rig...
Jim, if you can I'd recomend when you add the second waste tank you set it up as
just a grey tank. If thats just not feasable, then even with the macerator I'd
put a 3" connection pipe/hose as while your doing it its probably just as easy
to put the larger conncetion in and in case you have some clumping. Will give
better drainage.

19.5" tires all around, I've weighed it (6000lb front axle, 8600 rear)
and the tires on there are rated for plenty more (another 2000+ front
axle, 7400+ rear).

Tanks are a bit limited so far (60gal fresh, dual 40 gray/black) but
there's a ton more room under there and I'm having a combo black/gray
100gal added on to take the input from both factory tanks once...in
other words, I won't be pulling the existing tanks or messing with the
plumbing, instead I'll put a macerator pump on the stock output and run
"garden hose" to the input of the secondary tank. The existing tank
outlet is recessed enough (and behind a locked door) to allow leaving
the macerator pump on at all times.

I'll add a 100gal fresh as well.

Jim
