I'm basically just copying what I found on youtube. ABS seems really easy to work with.
I should have done a video on routing the drains under the bus. I have some snippets here and there, but it was really difficult and exhausting and cramped under the bus. Really, however you imagine it's supposed to go, is how it went. Just running pipe from your hole in the floor to the grey water tank, 10 home depot runs to get the pieces, shapes, tools, and supports you need, and curse at your hands for 10 hours straight.
Once that's done, you get to just work inside the bus and figure out stuff like this! Plumbing the sink was much more fun than installing the drains. It's also the most complicated parts because it's not just a straight-forward uniform pipe setup. Figuring out how to physically connect the sink to the drain was a much more difficult mental exercise than connecting elbows under the bus.
I am very happy that I went with all the venting that I did for the lines, too. It was the hard way of doing things, but totally worth it to do it now, rather than after I discovered issues with the system later.
Check out Coindexter's if you're thirsty in Seattle!
