I'm installing a weekend package in CM Norstar and need a little insight on the installation of the slant wall shower pan combo drains. From what I can tell from the pictures here http://www.jazzsales.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=46_69... I'm assuming the black water tank is simply plumbed to a dump valve through the floor?
On the gray water drains, are draining straight outside? Or, if into a gray water tank, is there enough room to get a "P" trap in the drain line between the tank and shower?
I've got a few pictures here http://s1119.photobucket.com/albums/k636/woodwalker1/?start=all that I need to update.

I have the same pan that you are talking about and know what your talking about. I will try to post some pictures but the the easiest way to explain my fix was this:I built the frame for the pan and when I did, I raised it up a couple extra inches. then I took the toilet straight down to the black tank and the shower came straight out out and into a P-trap and back under the frame to dump back in the black tank (Im a little leary about dumping my grey water straight on the ground, it could get nasty after a couple days and I don't need my horses or dogs drinking soapy water.

SRWilson I think I understand what your saying, The P-trap is under the trailer floor? Are you satisfied with the combo unit? The quality of the unit?
Thanks,
Wade

Wade,I am really pleased with how things worked out. to be clear. I have the same pan you are talking about but i opted to not use the one with a black tank. My tank is also under the trailer floor. my toilet dumps straight down and the shower drain goes straight into the P trap and then back up and into the T to dump with the black H2O. As for the worry of any gasses coming straight back up the toilet, the water in the tank helps create and seal the flap.
