Hey Cory! Glad you had fun camping! Sounds like you may need to get some floodlights mounted on the back of that camper! haha Have fun at work. I just finished washing and then I vacumed out the truck too. All this camping had tracked some sand in the truck.

Yea, that might be an idea.
I need to clean my truck as well. That sounds like a good after work project.
I also had a question....do you empty your black tank completely? Do you set it up for the next trip right away? I was wondering how to handle it so I don't have dried crap on the bottom.

Hey all! Well we are up camping. No good internet here. Hardly phone either...

We had an unexpected delay for going camping, but such is life. I will be back tomorrow, sadly...

Oh yea, I got the spare and mount in the mail when I got back from our trip. I ordered it in time to have before, but of course it was backordered. But now it is all mounted and ready.

Glad you had a good time camping Cory. Personally, I dump the tank completely then after closing it off I pour in a little chemical per the instructions and add a couple gallons of water. That's all you should need to do. Empty the black water first then the gray by the way.

Hope the rest of your trip goes well Dave

Good morning Jay and everyone else.

That's pretty good Jay. I used to go 5 over par, frequently.
Well, alright. It was per hole.

But, I chose to look at it that I was getting a lot more golf for my greens fees.

That's pretty much like I golf guys. I have never broke under 100 on a par 72 course.

Work half a day today at a trade show. I think I spoke with 2 customers in 5 hrs.
