This IS not funny

If you are familiar with an RV you understand holding tanks .. such as black water and grey water.

Black is your stinky poo, gray is your shower and kitchen sink water .. there are gauges that you can look at to tell how full they are getting. For the most part the black water gauge (factory) never works right .. but you know when it's full. It begins to come up and meet you.

When the (in our case we have 2) shower gray tank gets full you'll be taking a shower and the shower water no longer drains. I know, ask DH. Got his butt out of bed at 1 am to pull the handle.

NOW in our case the kitchen sink gray tank gives you NO WARNING what so ever. No gurgle in the sink, the water doesn't back up into the sink .. want to know where it goes? All over the DANG floor. Under neath where for the most part you can't reach and then onto the floor you walk on and becomes soaked up by the carpet.

I know all this cause it just happened to me. It's not (oh how to word this) a defect. Well it is in the engineering. DH showed me on the piping for the washer outside in the shed. Some type of breathing vent hole ... You can be assured that the service center in Wildwood, FL will hear what I think about their lack of engineering.

I can't take the risk of this happening again, so as long as we are hooked up I will be leaving the kitchen sink valve open just enough that the water can trickle out.

I'm so glad we had gone to Lowe's and bought a Wet/Dry Shop Vac when we bought this trailer.

I don't know if I'm angry or pissed. Maybe they are the same thing.

It goes with the territory. Whether you own a home, a boat or an RV .. if it isn't one thing it's another .. it could have been worse.
