Subject: [SilverStreak] Manuals for '72 Silver Streak

I have what appears to be all of the original documentation and manuals from 
our 1972 Continental Luxury Liner, including manuals on the A/C unit, furnance 
and other appliances.  Jeff, please let me know which appliances exactly, and 
I can mail or fax you a copy of whatever I have, if you think it would help.

The "deconstruction" project is proceeding well and we have really opened up the 
rear of the trailer.  It's nice and light in there now and I'll post more pictures 
soon.

We are at the point of removing the potty tank and the tub/shower.   The potty tank 
is a blackwater tank that doesn't drain through the outlet unless the valve handle 
is pulled outside.  The tub/shower drain is graywater and goes out through the outlet, 
there is no separate graywater tank.  (By "outlet" I mean the thing you hook the 
drain tube to on the outside.)  My questions are:

1) I can't figure out how to disconnect the drain valve from the potty tank, so the 
potty tank can be pulled upward and taken out.  

2) What do I need to know to disconnect the drainpipe from the tub/shower so I can 
take it out?  There is an access panel on the bottom of the trailer.

3) How does the drainpipe from the tub/shower connect to the outlet?  As far as I
 can see from the outside, the outlet is a Y outlet, one branch goes up front to the 
kitchen sink and the other seems to be the branch to the blackwater tank.

If you've gotten into these types of repairs before and have any advice I'd really 
appreciate it!

On my '79 the plumbing is bonded (glued ) together except for Ptraps,
which have slip nuts.

Ditto my 77.  I think the only thing you can do is cut the pipe nearest the
flanges  to which the flex drain hose attaches.  Then when you put the tank
back in you can attach new flanges or extend the  drain pipe with sleeves.
I don't think you can get it out in one piece.  Carl Rodgers
