Re: [VAL] RE: Interior Help



Hi R.J., Chuck & Lynn here.  I don't quite understand how the bellypan conceals the 
black and gray tanks on the 1956 F/C restoration. It looks like they hang down below 
the bellypan.  Our toilet is midship, and towards the center of the trailer.  I hope 
you can see this ohoto, it explains alt.

Regards,
Chuck & Lynn
