That looks like one of the use horizontal and fill vertical models.
You have to remove it to fill. So you have to remove the regulator to fill, so you need a flex hose on the output of thee regulator os you can move the regulator to get the tank out. A 90 deg fitting on the regulator output is not a problem.

WME, thanks for the input. Since I have now a little extra headroom, I was considering this approach: 2" strips of plywood on 24" centers, glued across the ceiling with the 3M marine glue/sealant and braced up from the floor. Then when solid, and leaving the braces, fiberglassing around the strips to give them the permanent arch and the additional strength of the fiberglass on the sides. Then in between, I can glue my 1/2" styrofoam and then have a strips to fasten my finishing ceiling panels. I can put small tubing for wiring across to the center for lighting where needed. I don't think that the width of the plywood strips matters as much as having the fiberglass on the sides. What do you think?
This is the ugly way but gives you more head room. Put a curved 1x1 metal beam on the out side and bolt through the roof to a 1/8x1" strap. this will spread the load and pull the roof into the curved piece on the outside.
I think that factory was curved ply beams glassed to the roof and covered in carpet. Linda would know for sure how it was done.
-
Remember that the newer Sunraders came with FACTORY beams to support the roof, just saying.

Yes there is a seperate heater for 120v or 12v. You said running on 12v in your orginal post, thus the 12v heater element link.
FWIW the 12v is for maintaining cool, not cooling. The 120v heater is 325w and the 12v is 130w
-
Mufflers are universal fit, brake pads, rotors and calipers are exact fit
-
NOPE, that is a 120v ac heater..
-
There should be wires coming out of the boiler stack. You can trace them, unplug them and use an OHM meter to check for continuity. 40-100 ohms, if its open then you need a new heater element.
The element failure is not uncommon.

See if SKF makes one of these for your yoke...https://www.skf.com/us/products/industrial-seals/power-transmission-seals/wear-sleeves/skf-speedi-sleeve
Full on redneck hack, only drive the seal in about 2/3 the way. This may let the seal lip move far enough to ride on a smooth part of the yoke

Replace black drain with this.
https://www.etrailer.com/dept-pg-RV_Waste_Valves-pt-Double_Waste_Valve_~_Manual-pm-Valterra.aspx
Run grey tank pipes to 1 1/2 inch side opening. ABS is very easy to work with and the glue seals perfectly. Just rinse black tank thoroughly before you start

Best idea yet.

O boy a previous owner strikes again!!!
MAYBE you can loosen the hose clamps and remove the whole mess. If you get a valve and some adapters you can install the valve and adapt it to a drain hose coupler, but then you would have to move the drain hose from one to the other. Thats a PIA
The best way is to redo both tanks so that you only have to use one hose. Move the valve you have closer to the tank and install a t adapter after it for the small drain. Then the hose coupler. You would also need a small control valve for the gray tank.
All the pices and parts should be at your local rv parts place.
Good luck

I understand. About 160 amps alternator, if I see right, that means more pressure on the timing belt. Can a Toy setup handle 160 amps alternator without any modifications?
My "rig" is a 30ft Winnebago with a 496 CID V-8.
Its set up for a ribbed drive belt, does your "rig" have a ribbed belt or a v-belt?
-
Your stock alternator is 60 amps, it takes about 25 amps for power and lights. That leaves you with 35 amps, the smallest MPPT DC to DC is 30 amps. Not a lot of headroom for a depleted battery. A 100AH LifePo4 with a good BMS will take a 70 to 80 amp charge at a maximum, 40-50 amps is the max continuous safe charge
You may need to also upgrade the alternator. There are bolt on replacements of 120 amps and up. You want to keep the alternator load around 50% of capacity.
So 25 + 30 = 55 x 2 = 110 amps MINIMUM
My rig has a 160 amp alternator and I'm running a 40 amp DC to DC

OK Renogy makes 8 different DC to DC chargers. THE one you posted does not require a 12v control wire. So you need to splice the 2 blue wires together and your wiper will work just fine. Like Fred said.
Follow the Renogy video and its easy. Make sure you use proper sized wires (4 ga) if the runs are short. You can add solar later with just 2 wires, if you are NOT planning on adding solar then the other style charger is less $$. https://www.renogy.com/12v-40a-dc-to-dc-on-board-battery-charger/
I helped some folks, this spring, with the other style unit and they require a switched 12v trigger wire. Got confused
-
Lets all get on the same page😜 What DC to DC charger do you have.
-
You can just remove the old isolator and use the white wire as the control wire for the DC 2 DC charger. You will have to rewire the battery power leads to suit the DC 2 DC charger output. Where are you taking the 12v input from?
-
After all this, your going to go off roading in that. But you will scratch it😱

Before doing anything. Find a source of shore power to see if it operates correctly.

WME - you've got me curious, I"ll see if I can do that. So let it extend, then measure resistance to move it?
Yep, put it on a scale and push.

P.S. Linda here is a leaf spring to air bag conversion. Way to much $$$ for this crowd.
