Can you beat this? Boon-docking

Okay our last trip to boon-dock. Could this weekend have gotten any worse?

On the way up the mountain we stop for breakfast...it didn't settle. We get to the last Giant station to fill up with gas before heading back into the very remote camp spot. I finish filling up the truck and pull over in the parking lot and stepping up into the TT it lets loose. After cleaning up me, the toilet, and the floor we get to our remote site and I shower and change my jeans.

The rest of the weekend went okay.

Heading back down we stop at the good'ol Giant. I get the hoses out, geez how can this trip get worst. I go to hook up to the TT dump and pull off the cap, you got it, the black valve was not closed, 3 inches of... well you know. I cap it and close the valve, now I still have to reopen, what a mess. Took me forever to clean the station, the pavement, me, and drove home waiting to shower again. Oh and there was a waiting line. How embarrassing and historical.

Your stories?

  • Well yesterday night I got showered in a bit of you know what. Ok so I was tired and it was dark. I was flushing the tank to prep for the morning. I had my clear back flush connection hooked up. I go to turn on the water and water squirts all over me. I forgot to open the black tank valve before starting the water. So the water pressure causing it to blow past the seal spewing liquid remenents from the flush valve on me.

    I think I will stick to my padded bucket and numerous plastic trash bags :).
  • Here is mine... a friend told me when I bought the new trailer to lose the blue sanitation hose that came with the trailer, it was cheap, go with the grey one he said. Well one weekend the family was camping for the weekend, we pulled up to the sanitation station, hooked the blue hose up and started, the hose had a real bend in it so I kicked it to straighten it out. The blue hose split in half and you know what was flying everywhere, it was mayhem!!!!

    The next day I bought a grey hose and have been dry ever since.:E
  • :E,,,:o If this happen to me, I doubt that I could post it.
  • I think similar has happened to all of us at least once in our experiences. We're not perfect you know, we're human! Afterall, soap and water was invented for just this situation!
