I know that he has 2-200 gallon fresh water tanks. Waste water I am not so sure. What is black/gray water?

Black is toilet,grey is sinks/shower.
Grey is wash water from sinks/showers. I bet you can figure out what black stands for.
In 2005 the wife and I went to a show and was looking at Toter Homes. They had on special a single axle International 25'cabin home and a 28' car trailer that was not a stacker and the show price was $205,000. The one in the photo,tandem axle at today's prices retail will be in the $300,000 range.Like RV's they sometimes have deep discounts off the retail prices.

Volvo is a platypus... mixture of all sorts of weirdness and funky stuff and weird ways of doing things, they are considerably cheaper than a Paccar product. I lost all hope for them years ago when they came out with the hollow steertec front axle followed up by the I shift manual/ auto trans. They are popular I don’t care for them myself no comparison in quality to a Pete or KW but I do understand I just hated to tow them because of all the issues with the trans and front axle failure when you set them on your under reach forks... I should shut up sorry I do realize someone is proud of that truck , I just seen guys get screwed by moving them off the road to the shoulder because of the transmission.. if it quits in the middle of the road it can’t be moved until the shafts/ axles are removed . Then they ruined Mack’s!

Last decent Mack was back in 05-06. The 07's were a nightmare. For the type of work I did ,asphalt paving, my all time favorite ( as a construction company owner's perspective) will always be a Mack RD or R model, 350 with 8LL, simple, tuff trucks. As a driver my favorites are W-9's and Pete's, hands down. Way more room, lots more power , mine had flashed c-15's. They actually had too much power, off road you would 3 hops of the rear and then BANG, not a good things when you have drivers in them.

You sound like my father-in-law. He loves the older Mack's. The guy gets giddy when he sees a B, Dm or U models,lol, and he's had them all from Ford cab overs to Pete 379's

The driver that dropped my car off had this one.
If I remember right he said the truck was over 400k
he spends a lot of down time at auctions . So it makes life much easier . This one even has a standup shower
I do remember he said between truck and trailer it was nearing $750K
