Well, in spite of my efforts this weekend of eliminating all plumbing leaks - I still have one. The remaining one is from the toilet supply. Unfortunately there is no access to this spot, unless I either drop the black tank - or pull up the carpet. I have the plumbing plans (from Fleetwood) for my rig. I verified the route when I pulled out my converter. I saw the hot and cold supply pipes under the vanity. The hot one went straight to the vanity, and the cold t-ed off and fed both the vanity and the toilet.
So, my question is - has anybody ever dropped either of their holding tanks? Obviously the toilet would have to be unbolted from the top, metal support beams removed from below, and the knife valve joint severed with the grey tank - but what about the vent pipe? I don't think there is even a threaded fitting to be undone on the top (assuming I could get a hand up in there - which seems impossible). I guess I would have to cut it somewhere on it's trip up to the roof...
Or, am I better off pulling up the carpet and plywood on the toilet "step", and attacking the problem from the top? The added benefit, I suppose, would be that I could replace the carpet with vinyl tile. I never liked carpet in the bathroom anyway. After typing this all out, it does seem like "option B" is the best route...
What do you all think?
