Okay, and I've got under the floor here. I've got a 42 gallon freshwater tank and a 42 gallon gray water tank so am I Got the wheelchair lift over here. Okay. Do you still use that or? Um, it's got a leak somewhere And but I my wife was in a wheelchair So I really needed this to be able to get in and out.
