The tank is double bagged and an air line is running in from outside the house. I bagged the tank up tonight so I can check it before I leave in the morning.

Everything survived!

only one small problem was the kalkwasser dosing — I left it running, but with the tank bagged there wasn’t any evaporation, so my water level is a little high, maybe a gallon and a half. I turned off the dosing and it will settle back down via evaporation over the next day or two.

thanks for all the tips!

I’m glad it went well. I will have to learn from this method. Taking everything out when I tented in 2018 was quite a job! The good thing is we don’t have to tent too often!
