I have a 2009 SVF 285RL Surveyor 5th wheel that has 2 drain outlets one for the Gally tank and one for gray & black water. I want to plumb those to one outlet. Do you think it would be a problem?

my 2009 5th wheel surveyor has 2 separate hook ups for drainning tanks. I want to redo it to one outlet. Do you think it would cause a problem?

It can be done. The below link is from another forum member. It is a different camper but, same scenario. I have the same on my camper and I'm thinking of doing it as well.

It's not too hard to do if you have a hole saw and take your time with a die grinder getting the hole cut into the elbows. I did it to our 08 Flagstaff 831RLSS and our new 12 Flagstaff 8528RKWS. It sure makes it easier to drain rather than running 2 slinkys and a wye and crawling under the slide to open the galley tank. I'm too old, too feeble and TOO LAZY for that nonsense.

Do you have to have a Duramax tuned like you do gas burners?
