Our site had two things that looked like sewers, one in the center of a concrete bowl and the other by itself which was newer-looking. Believing in progress, I chose the newer- and spiffier-looking one. It had almost no capacity amd started spewing material shortly after I opened the valve. Being younger then than now, I responded fairly quickly by closing the valve and moving the outlet to the other sewer-looking hole. More stuff on the ground than I like to remember, but way less than what we had in the tank. <br /><br />When I went to complain at the offfice, the lady said the other sewer fitting "was only for use by their Engineering people". My suggestion of some kind of marking to tell people which one to use for dumping tanks, did not get any response from her.<br /><br />So you see, a sufficiently klutzy RVer can have a black tank disaster, even before going full time.Merikay MacKennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07090072368063727932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-86490066897203435242014-03-26T02:57:59.796-07:002014-03-26T02:57:59.796-07:00I've seen some pretty long sewer hoses here, b...I've seen some pretty long sewer hoses here, but 40 feet might be the record.Karen and Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284661066870109259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-3608899825325452362014-03-25T20:46:36.077-07:002014-03-25T20:46:36.077-07:00Wow!

Last night at the campground in Las Cruces, the sewer connection was in the middle of the site, and if we wanted to hook up to it, we'd have been sticking out into the road. So we just didn't hook up. Tonight's campground (a whopping 20 miles down the road) is laid out better. It was nice to hear from you today - I'd not been checking blogs much - and hadn't even posted on mine since December. But I'll be (hopefully) posting more since we're on a big trip.
