Ive already gotten it dumped now,,, went to brother in laws, where he is building a house,, was able to clamp the valve and remove the bolts, got the heck outta the way, and unclamped it,, it held, then hit it with a hammer and let er go... lol,,, whew, only thing in it was the anti freeze, and sanitation liquid I put in, and not as much in there as I figured,, plus,, gray tank is hooked to the black tank, so Im good there too.. was wondering how to dump the gray tank..
I had the new valve to put on, along with new cap, but they forgot to give me new seals, so stopped and picked them up.. and will install new valve and seals/cap today..
Now the tools can go back in the box, and Im finished on the inside and out, cept for minor things,, but Im ready to use it now..
Kinda silly, IMO,, to go camping with this, and for now, taking all the other camping equipment and using it (tent, stoves, coolers, mattresses etc) we were set up to primitive camp when needed (like at the Vietnam Veterans Reunion, in Kokomo Indiana, in September) The stove works, havent tried the hot water heater yet, toilet will come in handy for that event, refrigerator doesnt work on 110, or dc, unless it possibly wasnt level in my driveway,, slight grade there,, wouldnt think that was enough, but could be,, but still for sure didnt work on dc or 110,, need to check LP and see next... also try leveling.
hoping it warms up enough today, to test generator with A/C hooked up, to see if that will cool. A/C does work on 110, just need to check it with the generator 110..
May see if Nana wants to go to a park in it today, for a picnic..
Have a great weekend
