Accessibility

I like stuff accessible.

Simple.

Discovering that completely inaccessible 1/4 inch carriage bolt holding the front of the black tank in place really puts a knot in my shorts. It's one of those things all manufacturers do, I guess because it's cheap and easy. When the bolt was installed through the floor the fresh water tank hadn't been mounted above it yet. No problem - drill a hole in the floor and drop a 1/4 inch carriage bolt through it. The nut is accessible from below and unless the bolt rots it's not likely it will ever need to be replaced.

But if the rig spends time in a humid climate, like this one did until it came my way, and the bolt rusts....

Makes me grumpy to think how much worse this whole tank mount failure could have gone.

Now about that vent pipe one has to rip the bathroom apart to access. And access it one must to get the vent pipe hooked back up if the tank is ever dropped for any reason.
