I'm not sure how to post multiple images on here but here is a link to the gallery: https://postimg.cc/gallery/kKX5sLK

I decided it was time to do away with one of the most annoying issues I've had with my 320MKS. The double sewer outlets.

I had a leak in my rig because the lazy worker at the factory didn't fully glue around the drain, took me months to find it as it was only when I was draining. Anyhow, I took the underbelly down, cut out the bad connections and then combined the rear outlet with the front. The rear outlets is from a single sink, so we cut out the outlet, used an elbow and ran it all the way to the front outlet. We used pipe hangers to secure it so it wouldn't sag or bounce during transport.

We then cut the front outlet and replaced it with one that had 2 valves. It is so much nicer now.

We also moved the 2 slinky holders to the back where they should be, not under the slide like GD put them.

Things I was able to eliminate combining the outlets:

2 voltara waste gates
2 slinkies
half a box of connectors/drain pieces
10 foot of sewer hose stands
A lot of headache

While we had the underbelly pulled down, I ziptied and cleaned up the wire mess they left.

I also ran some gorilla tape across the underbelly front where they use the aluminum bar to keep it up. I figured that will help with water sneaking in during driving in the rain.

My next project will be to run 3 steel bars across the bottom of the rig to hold the underbelly up, as well as allow me to cut the underbelly into sections for easy access.

I am checking into mounting a second sewer hose tube. Did you secure them only on each side of your rig? I have blown up your picture, but I can't quite see how you have them mounted.
 
Curious if you left the original valve in place for the gray tank or is it now just the one shown in the picture? I've been contemplating a similar upgrade but would need to keep the valves/pipes from freezing so I would have to leave the original valves in place.
