First part of installing the drain line is starting at the black water tank and working back towards the other fixtures.  First was the installation of the next dump valve and adapter.

1961 Airstream Safari bamboo flooring installation.

I like the look and feel of solid wood flooring and I have used bamboo in past airstreams and it is my favorite choice so I went with a carbonized "floating floor" version.  The hardest part is the curved corners, once you come up with a method it goes quickly, taking my time I got this done in about four  hours.
