Holding tank capacities June 03, 2024, 12:45:42 pm I have a 1996 23.5' Lazy Daze and have had a hard time finding the specs on the fresh water, gray and black tank capacities. This is the rear bath model with sofa and two barrel chairs. Not sure of the model number. Any solid information would be helpful.
Re: Holding tank capacities Reply #1 – June 04, 2024, 03:18:10 am Hi NSCHIL9260; At the top of our entry page (under the banner photo) is a list of "helpful Links". The first link is for 'A Lazy Daze Pocket guide'. You'll find specs for the holding tanks as specified for a 2021 model. The tank sizes did change but not much over the years as the weight capacity for the chassis' changed. In that pocket guide is a 'Changes through the years'. In that there may be a mention of changed capacities in particular model years. The other way is to crawl under the coach with a flashlight. Many of the tanks have numbers molded into the tanks, and on my coach the gallon capacity is marked for the black tank. I don't think I looked at the gray water tank but it is probably also marked. On some years there is a laminated printed list attached inside the closet. That list does have weight allowances for cargo carrying capacity, how many passengers. Total weight for that chassis (GVWR) etc. It should have the weight allocated for fresh water. I don't remember off hand any mention of black and grey water specs. I hope this helps. Welcome back to the Fellowship of Lazy Dazers. (the FOLD) It's been a year, I hope your braking system was fixed ok. RonB 2 Likes
Re: Holding tank capacities Reply #2 – June 04, 2024, 09:07:19 am Welcome to the Forum! There should be a plate which identifies the model and serial number of your coach. It’s usually located outside just aft of the driver’s cab door. Probably the most accurate way to measure actual tank capacities is to use a flow meter. I’ve heard it reported that even the published factory spec sheets were occasionally incorrect. I’ve been thinking about purchasing one to check mine:Amazon.com : rv water gauge to measure gallons

Re: Holding tank capacities Reply #4 – June 04, 2024, 10:35:36 am The Lazy Daze factory's 1996 data sheet shows tank capacities for the 22' Front Lounge model (that's the one NSCHIL9260 has) as:Fresh water: 60 gallonsBlack tank: 24 gallonsGray tank: 24 gallonsPropane: 10 gallonsAs HILOLA pointed out, the factory's specs occasionally had errors, and all three other 22' models for that year show freshwater tank capacities of 50 gallons rather than 60, so I'd take that number with a grain of salt.Although the data sheet covers both 22' and 23.5' models, the table listing tank capacities only shows 22' models in its headings. There is a note that all 23.5' models have 35 gallon gas tanks, instead of the 30 gallons of the 22' models. Are the holding tank capacities the same? They don't say. So again, take the numbers with a grain of salt. 1 Likes
Re: Holding tank capacities Reply #5 – June 04, 2024, 12:31:24 pm Hi NSCHIL9260; I took the liberty of modifying your signature to reflect a probable Ford E350 chassis, The Chevy chassis was listed as 22'. The 'box' added by Lazy Daze was about the same, the length affected by the 'snout' of the supplied chassis. The chart Andy found does list the Front Lounge as having 60 gallons of fresh water. My 'TK (plumbing wise) is essentially the same as the rear lounge, and is the only other floorplan for the 'shortie' 22' or 23.5' version. The spec sheet lists a 50 gallon carrying capacity for me. I suspect the tank itself is 44 gallons, the 6 gallon water heater holding the rest of the 50. The black holding tank listed as 20 gallons has 18' molded in to my tank. Close but not 20! The gray water at 24 gallons is pretty close. A few gallons leeway, either way, is not of much importance. RonB
