I have to do it, Sooner or later,


Yep, Your onto it, Emptying the Black Tank, OOOOOOHHHHHHHH,

Yes I have read all about it, and how its done, BUT, I have never done this before,

And the Black Tank is almost full,

What happens if the Pipe comes apart While its emptying, Do I have to poke at it to make it Flow,

This is not my idea of a fun happening,

I will do it with no one watching, Hahahahaha, So I backed the Coach around and over the Bank at the front of my house,
Connected it all up and Opened the Valve, WHOOOOOO, Its Flowing, I have to keep lifting the Pipe to make it Flow,

That was easy, Now the Grey tank to flush it out, Thats even easier,

Well thats over and done with, I dont even have to cover it up, It dont smell, I was going to dump dirt on it with the Tractor and bury it, Not Necessary,
Now I have to dig up my old Septic system pipe for my Caravan, And put in my own Dump Point outlet connected to my own Septic system, 800 gallon Septic Tank, 350 Gallon septic tank is standard, I do like to think ahead, At the time it was $100-00 dearer, Just for the Bigger Tank, 25 years and its never been touched, or pumped out,
$100-00 was a good investment, and its still paying off,

I am glad that one job is over and done with, Till next time, Hahahahaha

Johnnie, everytime my DW watches that movie, she questions my reasoning for wanting an RV. Why else than the ability to give others a laugh at the new kid on the block. :))

I am a believer that my DW should know how to do everything on the coach. So...one day when we went to dump the tanks I told her that I would teach her how to do the job. Went to the dump station and I proceeded to guide her thru the process while she did the actual dumping. It was a busy dump station and some rigs were lined up behind us. I just kept guiding her thru the process. Once we/she was done I turned and looked at the men in the rigs behind us were all giving me a big thumbs up, ^.^d the women not so much.  My DW hasn't dumped since, but she does know how hmmmmm I wonder, maybe she needs a refresher course. :P :P :P :P

I may have posted this before but when I purchased my coach from Jeff and Carol I was at Motorhomes of Texas.  While work was being done on the coach one of the techs found that movie that they had left me.  He walked up to me with a "serious" look on his face and said "Now this is not the manual of how it's done".
