Waiting in line at the dump station.

Oh, forgot to add that filling the 35 gallon freshwater tank takes longer than dumping.

The LTVA (BLM) is in the process of building a new dump station along with a full size treatment facility. Like many government projects it has no opening date. I just heard that the test wells are not producing as “expected”. 

There was a guy with a 20 ft disposable (camping world forest river) tow behind that was taking a long time. He kept shaking the trailer and kicking his hose. He then pulled the dump station hose into his rig. He came out quickly when he found out that it leaked when he kinked it. He was there for about an hour. 

He really needed the local business R V PROCTOLOGIST.  

Can you imagine that as your job title?

You should have gotten a video !
Did anybody give expert advice or just point and laugh ?
My old '76 class A had a system that dripped it on the exhaust someplace to empty the tank by evaporation while driving !
IDK , it wasn't hooked up , the tanks had been replaced before I bought it and pieces were missing so never knew if both tanks were "feeding" it ???.
stay tuned

I was laughing too hard to document his shame.

It was beautiful. Absolutely stunning. 

I was sitting in line at the dump station trying not to get mad at the newbie’s that can’t tell one end of a hose from their fill valve. 

Any way I was watching the parade of rigs going out, when along comes a 30 year old full size rig towing a 30 foot trailer. It hit that speed bump without slowing a bit !! 

It was beautiful!  The front jumped about a foot in the air making the back hit the pavement. Then the back wheels hit!!


BOOM 

Poetry in motion!  It threw the travel trailer completely off the towball about then the travel trailer hit the bump. CRASH!!  

SCRAPE!!!

It was Simply Beautiful. It kept going as of nothing happened. Dragging it by the safety chains. 

It took about 10 people to get them to stop. 

And only about 5 minutes to put the trailer back on the hitch. 

I guess they have done that before.
