IF YOU ARE SQUIMISH ABOUT PLUMBING AND BODY FUNCTIONS, YOU MIGHT WANT TO SKIP THIS POSING!
When we first arrived here, we plugged in the electric and then proceeded to unhook, level etc. Usually Ruthi attaches the sewer later but it was cool and it seemed like a great idea to do it in the shade of the RV before the living room slide was moved out into place. Usually, she wears plastic gloves just in case it gets messy – which it hasn’t since our first time in Simi Valley, CA. So, gloveless you can imagine the results. As Ruthi took the cap off the drain pipe to attach the hose - out gushed waste water. Luckily, there were no solids; but it was definitely “black” water (from the sewer) and not “gray” water from the bathroom or kitchen sinks.
We had drained the tanks just before we left Illini Park in Marseilles, IL on Tuesday (09 August). Then we spent an overnight in Caledonia, WI. Somehow/someone had pulled the “black” lever and filled the exit piping (about 3-4 feet of 3-inch sewer piping) with waste. So, the total “spill” was less than a quart but messy none the less. We talked with the RV Park owners and discussed how to remedy the spill. Ruthi used fresh water to wash the “spill” site and ensured that no waste/smell was left.
