Great video - Thanks for the details. I truly hope this project never comes my way- but Hey! the macerator is gonna be a game changer!

I'm really looking forward to being totally done and, fingers crossed, never have to deal with this again. :-)

Thanks for the heads up on the measuring mistakes you made. Also, good to see you back.

If I save other some frustration then it will be worth it! Until I find a good shop to work it, my winters are going to be slow on videos. ;-)

Great video, thanks. I just did gas tank pull on mine. I built ramps for the rear wheels (off the GMC sites). Backed it up on the ramps with air bags up hi and then put supports (big jackstands) under chassis. This gave me plenty of working room. I also used ratchet straps to help get tanks in and out. Not sure if they will work on black tank as I haven’t had to cross that bridge yet.

I'll probably build some ramps at some point, They would help a lot for all the "under the coach" projects that I do. The ratchet straps are a great idea, I'll keep that in mind if I drop the gas tanks (I hope to never drop the black tank again).

Great video, did you end up buying another new tank to fix your mistake?

I ended up using the tank I had, I was able to do some "adjusting" when putting it together and made it work. I figured if it leaked or had a problem later, I would get a new take and redo it then. We used it all summer with no problems so I think I might be okay!

Out of interest what are the dimensions of the black tank? If one were to fit a battery bank under the floor what is the dimensions?

@MrGMCMotorhome 8 ай бұрын

The black tank dimensions are 35" x 53" x 6". Most people who are thinking about turning these into electric drive replace the two fuel tanks with battery banks. There is a nice top down image of the frame in this article. silodrome.com/history-gmc-motorhome/ the black tank is behind the rear fuel tank.

It's interesting seeing how things are evolving, I see a lot of people outside of the GMC scene having recycled hot water. So it just runs the shower in a loop through a filter and only when you soap only then do you hit a switch and dump it into the tank. The family are happy as there is no clock watching as you take a shower in the morning. I only ask about the battery as running a thin 4" high battery block in a frame would tie the chassis together too.
