My only dissapointment so far was that I was told that the Thetford Electric Porta/Potty 465 would fit the Raven cubby hold by the door and it doesn't 
So I'm out $145.00 if I can't sell it (bought online (no returns)). I'll try to get $100 for it on craigslist.

I'm pulling the jacks off this weekend. Only 3 bolts per Jack. Will only put on when I want to take the camper off

Also, removing the jacks, reduces your weight by 100 lbs

Took off the Jacks this weekend, made some mods for the porta potti to fit, made a vented drain adapter and took more photos per some requests. First, some interior photos:
And after replacing the 1 1/2" bolt with a 1/14" and a couple of washers I got the porta potti to fit:

Here are some exterior photos with the top up and and the jacks off:
And here's a little attachment I made to help the sink drain. Many years ago I had a tent trailer that took forever for the sink to drain so I made an attachment out of PVC, a tee fitting, male and female hose fittings. The top of the tee acts as a vent so the sink drains faster. I noticed the Raven sink had the same problems so I made another one this weekend. Made it short enough to store on top of the holding tank:

Congratulations. Great looking rig! Now you can enjoy camping without all the hassle.
One comment....replace the FWC thermostat with an inexpensive (cheapo) programmable thermostat from Walmart. It is much more precise and you can program it to turn on the furnace 20 minutes before you get up.....so you will have a warm camper in the morning. Best $19 I ever spent. Mine is a "Hunter" brand....and the installation is simple. Since it is digital....you can set the furnace temperature with pinpoint accuracy.
