Thanks, guys, you've convinced me. I'm just bummed that gear I bought less than a year ago is failing. Well, I have been on more than the usual number of trips, I think, since the wife and I are enjoying retirement. But, still!
Last trip; my screen door handle broke, (OK, I did bungee it to keep my dogs from nosing out) my hot water heater compartment hatch latch broke (well, I was opening it with my Leatherman, but that was the only way I could do it!) And my water pump lost it's prime! (Sure, my wife opened all the faucets when I asked her to just 'crack' one faucet to release the pressure before I disconnected my city water hose, but I don't recall my manual covering this!) and I was able to get it pumping again by squirting water from a small water bottle into it! Yes, yes, yes!
The one system I've been Johnny-on-the-spot with so far, the sewer system, is failing now? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!
OK, thank you for letting me vent.
Am I having fun now?
