OH...the things you "learn" RVing

Last trip out we stopped by a Walmart to pick up couple things. I parked where other RV were parked and out of the way. One thing I try to do is say "hello" to other RVers when walking by. Passed this one guy and the "hello" turned into a short conversation. He told us about his motorhome, dog, the weather, etc. As I'm leaving I ask where the closet place to dump is.

He tells my wife and I very straight faced that he just finds a railroad crossing and dumps. Just find a street that's not to busy with train tracks and pull the handle. And he goes on to say the trains haul poisons and toxic materials that they are destroying the earth and there is no way that a black tank can be as dangerous as what trains are hauling.

After he explains this I look at wife and she's looking at me. We're both waiting for the rest of the joke. But no, he goes on to explain what a hazardous placard is and how to look for them.

Who would of ever known I've been passing all these dump sites all this time.

The things you "learn" RVing.
