Pretty sure the black tank is under that plywood. Is so in my 2013 19 so when I needed to screw down these items I made sure the screws were no longer than the plywood was thick.

Mike, you could also use a construction adhesive such as Liquid Nails to attach an additional layer of plywood where you want to use screws. Then you would not have to worry about piercing something.

Thanks very much! What throws me a bit is, when I look down the open toilet valve I see the black tank below, so I assumed it all was straight down. But instead it extends way out behind the toilet. Interesting. I like the idea of adding another piece on top.

I have obtained a 1500W pure sine inverter. Ron, that photo of your setup was helpful. Now if I can figure out where and how best to tap into the wiring.... now that is a real head scratcher!

If the black tank was only the area under the toilet it'd be pretty small. No difference in the 21C. The black tank extends sideways into the storage area.

I hooked my inverter up to the batteries. It's a bit of a long run but you want larger cables to avoid voltage drop.

I was a bit intimidated by it at first, but once I unraveled the bundles of wires it wasn’t as bad as it looked. Do you have solar panels now, if not are you planning on getting some. Now would be a good time to install them, do your wiring for it while everything is apart.
