[VAL] Caravel Holding Tank



Having just returned from a week at Oregon's lovely Lake Hyatt (E. of  
Ashland - a BLM facility), I learned the hard way of the inadequacy  
of my 1966 Caravel's black water tank. On day three when I noticed  
the chipmunks, ravens and other common critters had suddenly  
evacuated an area 50 yards in distance from my trailer, I discovered  
the tank had overflowed. I drained the full tank into a 10-gallon  
blue boy, and it only slightly more than half filled it -- which, I  
assume, means my black water tank must hold about 5-7 gallons (??).  
So now i'm contemplating replacing it, with a larger tank if  
feasible. Question of the day: Have any of you Caravel owners  
accomplished this?  Any specific tank recommendations?
