Classic thread! LOL

I, unfortunately, also suffered the full ‘splash back’ experience the very first time emptying a black water tank.

We had borrowed the in law’s motor home and stayed in Lake Louise overnight.

Now, keep this in mind. I’m a ‘ginger’ and stereotypes exist for a reason. I was already a bit anxious about driving the beast. A face full of sewage wasn’t particularly helpful.

Yet, I kept it together (barely) and rolled into the gas station. It was busy as always.

We had to wait for a pump. I was making terrific efforts to regain my ‘Zen’.

However, it was not to be. The lad in front of me (sporting quebek plates) spent what seemed to be 2 hours trying to put a new wiper on. The blood pressure started to rise as the snowflake fiddled.

Mrs Tree, God bless her, sensed it and ushered The Shrubs to the back.

I finally had had enough and lean out the window. “Dude, can’t you just pull out and do that in a parking space so I can get to the pump?”

The reply?

“I haven’t put petrol in yet”. *snootily*

Things kinda went downhill from there. Let’s just say he was gifted a soiled T-shirt and...

We'd dump his tank at the RV dump, and frequently it would be in the hottest part of the summer, and we'd be sweating balls. My boss would grab the clean-out hose and have a drink like at the fountain...

We had a similar situation at a trailer we set up for work years ago and had a power outage . We used this product liquid fire . In our case prob like yours was not froze solid , just top layer . after we used was thawed in about 5 hrs.

First trailer that we bought was a small mid-80's Prowler.

The first time I dumped the black tank, the whole valve assembly came off. Poop everywhere.

Incredigirl laughed.

The people waiting behind me laughed.

I laughed.

Everyone laughed.

My Tevas? They were destroyed.
