My 1966 Safari manual reads:

"In an emergency, you can empty waste water form the sink and lavatory into
your waste holding tank instead of allowing it to run on to the ground (some
state parks forbid letting sink and bath water run onto the ground although
it is often done in the wilderness.  To empty waste water into the waste
holding tank, open the dump valve while keeping the Sewage Drain Cap on.
Waste water will automatically back up into the tank.  Note: Water
conservation must be practiced when allowing waste water to drain into the
waste holding tank since it will fill rapidly.

After you have been emptying waste water into the waste holding tank in this
manner, when you arrive at a waste disposal facility, close the tank dump
valve and remove the Sewage Drain Line Cover Cap in order to drain the
section of pipe between the cap and valve."

Note:  The manual never closed bracket on Paragraph 1.  This is an exact
transcript. The manual goes on to describe Using a "Gopher Hole".  Times
have indeed changed.

Question:  Does anyone know what the capacity of the waste tank is on the 66
Safari?

I think this qualifies coaches equipped this way as fully legal under
today's standards but imposes special precaution for use because of small
capacity and the possibility of system backup . . . even that wouldn't be so
bad if the bathtub was the overflow reservoir.  Just a bit of a messy clean
up :)

Old Wally (as opposed to new Wally:) was quite the visionary.
