Visitors should pee outside!
Hello and welcome to my rant,
My wife and I live full time in our 5th wheel and are very comfortable with the accommodations and deal wit the RV systems quite well.
We have 600 gallons of fresh water storage and a 300 gallon waste tank at out "home spot" to keep us from having to haul water too often.
Last summer we had visitors. After they left I was running my macerator pump to transfer from the 5er tanks to my big tank and the pump took a dump. Bad noises then stopped. All full of poo and I have to take it apart and fix it.. Yay!!!
What I found was a 9mm shell casing that someone had put down the toilet.
Today we had guests again. We decided to go to the beach and a guest used the toilet before we left. We came home to a flood. Somehow the guest had managed to flush but not allow the toilet valve to close completely. The water continued to run, filled the black tank and then dumped 100+ gallons of water on the bathroom floor.
I tried several times to duplicate the "stuck valve" and could not. It was stuck when we got home and I barely touched it and it snapped closed. I eased, twisted and pressed every which way and I cannot duplicate the failure.
Now I have a completely full waste tank and about 20 gallons of fresh water to face my Monday with.
I am generally mean and ornery enough to keep visitors away but given the story above I obviously need to work on my personality because they keep coming.
Thank you for tuning in. :)
