I bought a 1998 scamp 13 without a water tank. I bought a new tank but I don't know the proper way to connect up the hoses for filling and water supply plus the overflow. Can anyone help me with a diagram and instructions?
Thank you

Remove dinette seat on curb side.
Large hose connector to the rear, attach to your fill fitting with a 1 1/4" hose. In the front (Other end of the tank) install your drain valve attach a short piece of hose to your drain fitting. Drill a hole in the floor for the hose to pass through for your tank drain. Seal the wood where the hose comes through with sealant. There will be another lower outlet, install a plastic barb fitting and attach to your pump. There will be another upper outlet install a plastic barb fitting this will be your vent. Attach a line loop it up as high under the seat as you can and attach it the wall seat support wood. then route the hose through a hole you drill through the floor and seal. If you choose a vented water fill outlet you can attach your vent line to the fill outlet vent. The threaded plastic fittings are 1/2" NPT. I screw strips of wood to the floor to block in the tank. The tank can be secured in place with metal pipe hanging strap or plastic strapping that looks like the metal pipe hanger strap.
Reinstall the dinette seat.
Good Luck

Thank you very much Eddie. That was a big help.

That was a great write up by eddie. Here is a photo I took when I was working on the flooring to help me remember where it all went back. Hopefully it helps visualize everything he said. The seats are easily removed to access the space while working. I also have 2 tanks so there are more lines than you will probably have.

In areas with wide daily temp. changes or filling the tank with cold water in the summer the water tank can sweat. You may want to seal the floor or put a waterproof pad under the tank. I think this may have been an issue when people did not drain their tank after use.
