Hey! I purchased a Flush King from Camping World along with a chemical which is suppose to clean tank sensors early this spring. We haven't used them yet because the chemical needs to be in water that's about 70 degrees and we had done a good job cleaning out the tanks before we stored our camper for the winter season. If the weather is nice this weekend I'll ask Leon to pull "The Tube" out of the barn and bring her up next to the house so we can use the Flush King to try to expell the fork. Thanks for the tip!

And for you and your toothbrush Michael...no comment! Let's just say, I just hope you bought a new one ~

If we do recover the fork (and being Yankees) I'd wash it up good and then run it through the dishwasher. It's a good fork, no reason to toss it!

You are too funny!

No worries, we keep a wicked clean black water tank. And remember, being Airstreamers our **** doesn't stink.
