Default Sewer discharge upgrade 2010 Elkmont

Pictures say a thousand words.

Before and after pics.

Take notice that my trailer has a 2 7/8" lift kit on it. If yours doesn't have the lift, your grey water discharge pipe will need to be routed under the axle.

Here is the double valve that I used:

Good pic, I like what you have done. But a quick question. If the gray-water drain pipe had to drop down under the axle, and then rise again to connect into the combined drain assembly, doesn't the low point under the axle form a crud-catching trap in the drain pipe? Or is there a way to rotate the fittings to avoid that?

Or maybe the "whoosh" is enough to clean it out every time?

It doesn't really effect the slope of the pipe. It just changes the location of the axle.
