[VAL] Gray/Black Water Tanks
With Tramper being a '62 Globetrotter, we too have no gray water tank (duh
-- the learning curve grows !) and when Ronnie mentioned plumbing the gray
into the black, we were told NO ! You fill your black up too fast and can be a
"real" pain. It was suggested that we buy 1 of those portable, wheeled
plastic tanks that could be used for gray water and easily disposed of which made
perfect sense to us. Suggestions, comments, advice and assistance ?
Also, I am tackling new curtains next week but read that the reason the
glass seems opaque or tinted over the sink is because Airstream didn't want
curtains there because they could get wet ?
As an update, we are using my molded plastic "T" in GlobeTrotter for the
Tramper & painting it gold to match the remaining letters since they are
definitely plastic. However, have also purchased an original metal Globetrotter
logo in case the ours goes. And, Tramper is a California Airstream. Thank all
of you for your advice and assistance.
(Tom, don't want to meddle, but when there are different opinions on what to
do, wish everyone would give "FINAL" updates on what they did and the
results -- would help us all I think. What do you think?)
Finally, we remain a 1 Airstream family -- the '72 down the road was
wonderful but Airstream made many improvements in 10 years & we decided that it was
more than we needed to tackle right now (kinda why we have Model T's instead
of Roadmasters -- we know our abilities & limitations & the more you have,
the more you have to fix when it breaks!)
In His Grip,
