Good thinking! Have you decided on what to do for the vent on that sink? Going to tie into the existing vent or use a studor vent?

Have a main vent for both black and gray. Will try that before I add anything.

You need a vent close to the sink or what ever is on the end of the drain line for it to drain properly. That is the reason for the studor vent in RVs. Otherwise you would need to run a vent line to the tank vent.

Being that close you probably wouldn't have much of a problem, but the purpose of the vent is to keep from having a full pipe draining and sucking your trap dry. You could also have a slow sink or I have even seen them burp. Put a Tee in for the trap arm and put one of these in. The second picture shows what I mean by a tee for the trap arm.

The stop was for 2 boat jobs. One is my old Ranger ( now ready for paint ) and the other is a CheckMate I found for $900 with a bad motor that was not so bad ! Guy popped the head gaskets and some general clean up and she will be good to go. Will sell it off but the Wife like's it ? We will see ? Everything is a investment . LOL

You certainly have creative definition for investment But given the relatively easy fix for the engine you might actually make some money on that one.
