Removing that 1/4" of glue forming a dam in the bottom of the grey tank piping helped some. Also, getting rid of the uphill slope in the piping. :facepalm: The grey also empties to a lower level...

Thanks! For anyone who owns or has owned a Casita, the mod should look very familiar. The Casita group call it the "fast gray" mod. Strange that so many of the travel trailer manufacturers don't...

That weird! I had a hard time uploading the video as it kept giving me an error as soon as I hit send. I converted the video from mp4 to MOV (Apple) format and it took right away. Now it doesn't...

Below is a demo video of my mod to the 21' grey tank drain. I'm not good at making videos so be kind. :redface:

I had to get a pic to get it into my head. (below) That would make clean out a lot easier!

I guess I could have obtained the same results if I had used a tee with a cap instead of a 90 for the...

I don't know as I have not seen a 21' with spray foam - not many people order the option here in Texas. As far as difficulty doing the mod with foam, you could use the pics I posted to find out...

Each Escape trailer is handcrafted and unique in it's own way. I have looked at other 21' that didn't have the upward slope that my drain had. So I would say that you would have to look at your 19'...

Here is a pic of the finished drain assembly. I used a 3" rubber coupling to straighten out the black drain pipe connection to the black valve and allow the black and grey valve inlets to be level.

Next I installed the 2" pipe with street 90 and the valterra assembly. Notice that the 2" pipe slopes downward and is below the bottom of the grey tank.

I finally got around to installing the "fast" grey mod on my 21'.

I'm in the process of replacing the sewer wye and...
