Venting mystery October 29, 2011, 08:53:25 pm Yahoo Message Number: 126270I thought I would ask the group before the factory. This question pertaining to the 30 model. Maybe relevant to all mid bath type models but mine is a 06 ib which has a toilet and wash basin streetside and shower curbside. Some more background. Behind and next to the toilet there are TWO vent stacks running up to the ceiling. And conversely perforating the floor. Further under the toilet riser you can see the main toilet discharge pipe turning aft and heading into the floor aft of the vents. under the sink I have a compact interior type pipe vent just to the right if the cold water pipe. On the roof. There are three vents. Two streetside, one over the toilet, the other near the bow over the driver . The one curbside is over the shower. The aft ones make sense. The dual stacks to a single vent cap over the toilet doesn't. Nor does the idea that one of those vent stacks runs the length of the roof to the driver. So the question is. Does anyone know what why there are two stacks in the Johny and one vent over the driver? There is no way we eat that much chilli that we need a magic cab vent!!!! thanks Lydia

Do you have x-ray vision or have you opened the wall??? I do not have a visual on these items, most probably because they are hidden from MY view."...under the sink I have a compact interior type pipe vent just to the right if the cold water pipe."I believe you will find that this connects to your sink "P" trap. If you look under the kitchen sink you will see a similar arrangement way back in the corner. I would assume that these "P" trap vents are tied into the toilet and shower vents at some unknown interior wall location.Quote"On the roof. There are **three** vents. Two street-side, one over the toilet, the other near the bow over the driver . The one curbside is over the shower." On my roof there are only TWO vents, one over the toilet and the other over the shower. There was talk about a 'stealth' mod, requested my some owners, of a passage-way through the roof in the vicinity of the entertainment center (bow) for future expansion. If you are not the original owner perhaps that is what the forward 'vent' is for. If you 'are' the original owner you're losing it. :-)Quotethanks Lydia You're welcome!Steve S. Lazy Bones & Jiggs
Re: Venting mystery Reply #2 – October 29, 2011, 09:52:49 pm Yahoo Message Number: 126272Steve, I am not the original owner, so thankfully I am not losing it. Although some mornings, it may feel just that way...... Further expansion for what? a drivers seat porta potty? Can you please elaborate on this. Regarding the Xray vision.. Darn I'm good...BUT, I cant see through walls. What I did do is take off the access panel Lazy Daze placed behind the left side of the toilet, up against the base of the vent stack wall. It is held in place by velcro in three places. A good tug takes it right up. In one of the stacks there is what looks like a Tee with a plug on one side as a clean out. Still makes me wonder why there are two stacks there.Lydia

Roof-mounted antennas, such as Sirius/XM satellite radio, GPS, Wi-Fi, and/or amateur radio equipment. If this is what your extra vent is for, then perhaps the T you described would have been the way to bring cables coming down from the roof into the coach. I'm just guessing, however... hopefully those who ordered this option on their coaches can chime in.Andy Baird http://www.andybaird.com/travels/

Two streetside, one over the toilet, the other near the bow over the driver. We had Lazy Daze add an access point on the roof in the cab area so, if needed, we could run cables from GPS antenna/Datastorm roof mount/satellite tv antenna. We never ended up using it for anything, but it's there if we need it. Right now, it's just a hole in the ceiling (inside the front entertainment cabinet) with a vent cap on top.Chris W. 2004 30'TB http://chrisandfrank.blogspot.com/
