The Coffee House

I see what you're doing there...
 
Narrowly avoided a nasty disaster today. I was trying to multi-task (not good for me), working on editing shots, and flushing the black tank in preparation for leaving tomorrow. I hooked up the water hose, turned it on and in my haste to get back to editing I pulled the wrong valve open. As I sat there working away I began hearing a very faint gurgling noise. Not to be disturbed I ignored it. Then the noise developed into a gurgling/hissing sound. Again I tried to ignore it. When the noise finally got to loud to ignore I got up to investigate. As soon as I stepped in the bathroom, my eyes were drawn to the bubbling seething cauldron in the toilet bowl ready to explode at any second. Like a flash I was out the door and pulling the correct valve open. The pressure inside the tank had already reached the danger point, and as the valve was released it caused the normally flexible slinky 4" drain hose to pop rigid like a fire hose. Fortunately for me the end stayed in the drain, or there would have been a mess all over our RV, and the neighbors.

Very lucky I`d say.
 
Yo, Waday . . . Take that crap to the other place Leaderboard
 
I may have mentioned that I am of two minds. In any case I will learn the truth tomorrow.
In approximately 30 minutes I'll be asleep.

Friend of ours wasn't so lucky. When he heard the hissing and gurgling. He stepped on the flush lever. Bad move.

Yes. Bad move! We've had issues....luckily nothing like that. Usually a clogged or kinked hose. Nothing that results in "THE" storm.
