OK so I'm not new to rving at all but I just picked up a project rv and need some advice on it. It's a 1996 Dutchmen 26' bh. The rear 10' of the rv has already been gutted completely and the plumbing has been capped and new plywood installed on the floor. So my plan is to have fold up bunks on each side, a small 24x48" toilet/shower tucked away in one corner and to cut a large door in the back to load up to 2 atvs.
My first question is , is the rv capable of holding the extra weight of 2 atvs? The rear tires of the front one and front tires of rear one should be very close to being over top of the rv axle.
My next question is a plumbing one, so the old toilet flange is in the center of the rv and I will need it 12" of of the side. There is a 3" threaded flush flange where it used to be. I will just plug that flange with a 3" plug. Where do I get a new threaded flange or rubber gasket to install in the new location? Do I just hope saw a hole in the top of the tank and glue a new flange in?
I know this is a fairly ambitious project but I have the tools and most of the know how to do it, I just need a little advice on how to get this started
