    The Shower Drain

    Shower drainOk, this one took me a long time to figure out. One of the biggest challenges in figuring out my floorplan was how to drain the water from the shower. As mentioned elsewhere, 99% of conversions have the ‘facilities’ located above the rearmost bay, so effluent goes directly down into the tanks.

    Well darnit, I was so stubborn about this that I had to make it work with a rear shower. I looked at all possibilities and kept coming up without a solution. The big challenge is that water must drain downhill, and when the shower is in the rear, the rear wheels and axles are in the way under the coach!

    Finally, I had the idea to run the drain line inside the air conditioning ductwork. It goes directly down, forward about five feet, and out the side of the ‘tunnel’, into the p-trap and down into the tank! Slanted as much as possible, of course.
