Anyone remember the RV dumping scene in "RV" with Robin Williams? That is a real classic.

Yeah, I did something like that when we first rented a motorhome back in the 80s. I should have known something was up when I started messing with the sewer connections on the RV and the neighbors around us set up their camp chairs to watch! I was up to my knees in excrement and said to our daughter, "Bring me a towel!!"
She brought out one paper towel.
I have no idea where that kid gets her evil sense of humor.
We laugh about that incident... now. Another couple of years, and I may put her back in the will. The cat doesn't laugh at me like that. |

Maybe she didn't have any principals at the time?
We don't have a will, just got one of those new insurance policies where they give you the money now and when you pass away, the kids have to pay it back!!

That's funny. I'll right it down on my new stationary. Regarding wills: you no what they say - wear theirs a will theirs aweigh.
Dang, that was painful. My apologies for straying OT; didn't mean to run this down the drain.
Best wishes,

This reminds me of the time my family and I went to a new campground in Utah with our trailer. The owner said he didn't have anymore finished sites, but can put us up in one still under construction, no TV hookups. I said great, we're just staying overnight.
The next morning I decided to dump the black and gray water before we left. There were two black pipes next to each other, same size about 2 feet apart, one had a cap on it and the other didn't. After my son and I studied these pipes for some time, we decided to uncap and use that one. I told him to let'r rip on the black water valve while I held the outlet elbow of my wastewater hose...about 2 seconds later the pipe "clogged" and began overflowing, I screamed "shut it off!"
Turns out the one with the cap contained the new TV connections, cables and other 'stuff'. To say the least, I haven't been back to see how their new campground turned out. My son still smiles when I mention dumping the trailer... _________________ Steve & Carmen

What are the possiblities of installing a wye (inside the boat), a couple of full-open valves and a through-hull fitting appropriate to the RV site? Just a thought.

I had considered putting a "Y" valve on the galley and shunting the gray water to 5 gallon cans. This is the way I rigged a Van to mini RV conversion I did--worked fine. _________________ Bob Austin

Several years ago I stayed at a campground in Utah and couldn't figure out why when all the neighboring campsites had great TV reception, but all I got was crappy reception.....
