We got the same answer and ours is just finishing up - so, looks like nothing has changed.

Another reason to have some walls reinforced. I surely will want to hang something where there is no stud.

Jim, if you're getting the bathroom sink (or not) I'm interested in whether there is a vent stack in the cabinet next to the bathroom. Will there be a vent stack with and/or without the bathroom sink? The furnace is in that area also so I'm interested in pictures which show the plumbing.

I am not certain how they vent the bathroom. The floor drain had no vent, but I think there is one run up on the galley side, but not even certain of that.

I don't think the venting changed from the classic TA to the second gen. but both the bathroom and the kitchen sink are vented.

Sorry, I'm talking about the internal grey tank vent, related to the bathroom sink which in some 19' trailers vents inside the trailer. I realize the black and grey tanks have vent stacks going thru the roof. I'm wondering if there is an internal vent just behind the sink.

How does plumbing vent system work? (This is the link to a discussion of the internal vent pipe)

Talking Holy cow! It exists! (And a minor heart attack...)

Still seems surreal that after 7 years of dreaming and planning, my trailer actually exists!!! Got my first pictures, which initially caused a minor heart attack, as the pictures were of a 19' with red graphics and stock interior - not exactly a 17B with green and purple graphics and a custom interior!!! But, a mistake was made, and after touching base with ETI, the correct pictures arrived. Not much to see at this point, BUT IT EXISTS!!

In the 19 model the vent pipe and bath sink drain hookup can be seen right next to the heater going up to the roof, You can remove the heater vent cover and see the drain pipe along the bath/closet wall in the corner.

In our 19' the vent for the bath sink was in the area next to the heater and was open inside the cabinet and stopped just under the wardrobe. It did not go through the roof.This picture was taken by sticking a cell phone through the propane detector opening looking up toward the bottom of the wardrobe closet. You can see the open vent pipe goes up and stops just below the wardrobe. The tube on the right in the picture is the heater vent.

We never had any smell from the vent because the sink pipe is trapped again below the floor where the shower ties in before the gray tank.

That second tube you refer to as the heater vent is unknown to me. I was not aware that the heater had a tube to bring in fresh air?

It's the exhaust. You can make out the furnace it is attached to. What I did not understand is what was tie raped to it. I was not going to pull the furnace to find out.

Plastic heater exhaust tube?? With plastic ties attached? Doesn't heat melt plastic? Am I misunderstanding something?
