Need pictures of black-gray tanks installed

Post by BobW9 »

I removed my tanks and pipes under my Concourse over 2 years ago, but then things happened and they've been off ever since. Now I'm finally putting them back on, and I think I may have lost some parts (figures). And I can't find some of the photos I took from before I removed everything. I have some of the pipes and how they all fit together (I'm having to redo that entire rats nest, because mine had been replaced years ago and were angled in a way that was causing water to back up into the shower sometimes). But I can't find any showing the support for the tanks.

Does anyone have any pictures, or could take a few, underneath their Concourse? I would like to see how the brackets/bars/straps hold the black and gray tanks up, and where exactly they cross the tanks.

Thanks a lot in advance,
Bob

Here are a couple of pictures from the passenger side showing the tanks and brackets over the MorRyde stabilizer bar. Here is a pic of the gray water drain pipe exit

This is one of the black tank exit, but I hope yours looks much better. My blank tank had cracked and this was the previous owners repair. The main pipe recently cracked, but my repair doesn't look much better.

If you have the black cleanout port, the pex tube runs down from the rear storage behind the rear bumper and up into the side of the blank tank. I thought I had a pic of the valve connections, but I can't find it. I changed mine a bit when I fixed the latest crack, and my gray valve handle now sticks out at 45 degrees.

Thanks, Clay. Actually, my black tank had a leak in that same area, and the patch(es) was equally ugly. And it didn't last more than a year. Problem is our tanks are LDPE, not ABS, so only plastic heat welds work. Glues will just not hold over time. I'm putting in a brand new set of tanks this time.

Thanks, Terri. Looks like both of you have just 2 bars holding up the gray tank. I have those (kind of rusted, but they still look strong), just didn't seem enough for what must be 250lbs or more when the tank is nearly full.
