I pee a lot at night. Is a bambi too small for me?

[ArtStream]

Here's an observation!
We have two very interesting threads involving ladies:

Lady pees a lot at night....
and Lady in distress leaking air...

There seems to be a whole lot of leaking going on lately and I'm wondering if it has anything to do the fact that this is an AIR, STREAM, forum.

Just an observation.

A spirtle? I didn't know we had other Graham Kerr fans here. Gives me an idea for a new subforum...

Welcome to the Forums Goldi! Gray tanks were put into Airstreams starting with 1974 models. I'm a wanderlust traveler - when our 40 gallon gray tank gets full I'll pull to the dump station and head on down the road. Heckuva criteria, eh? But I concur with opinions above. It takes a lot longer to fill a black tank. I don't think I've ever had more than 12-15 gallons in there. Sometimes it's a good plan to let it slosh and pulverize by pulling to the next campground and dumping there.

State parks? They'll be full of dangerous suburbanites -- my favorite kind. Really, there will be a lot of people around and parks don't allow or attract long term squatters. You'll have to be on the ball with reservations at the maximum advance over the internet -- get online at midnight if you hafta. Take a look at klattu's excellent presentation of suncoast parks: http://www.airforums.com/forums/f42/...era-37772.html

We try to avoid the KOA scene, but I'm sure that there are some that are OK. State Parks (when they haven't been mostly clear-cut), forests, army corp, BLM, NPS are more what we like. A little less cozy to thy neighbor.

Now, about tinkling:

We have stretched out the use of our black tank to a week or little more by going by the rule:

"If it's yellow, let it mellow." The two of us just don't flush until it becomes to gross for us. I'm usually the one that caves, er, flushes.

A quick rinse with the sprayer and that's it. We also take advantage of a tree or a bush (me) or if close by some sort of toilet facility.

You should be fine.

Good catch 2air, does something, besides the black tank, smell?

Can mods verify IP address?

[CanoeStream]

Bill, nothing seems amiss.

[wbrownrr]

hmm... I know that it is tempting to add a larger black tank, but has anyone considered a larger bladder? Just a thought.

Quite a coincidence...thanx for checking Bob.

So airstreamers are a suspicious lot, eh?

I saw some new airstreams today. I liked the 23' international SS with corner bed (among others).

P.S. That other DeLand'er is not me. Please do not report me to the Dept Homeland Security.

This wasn't a big personal concern. Thanks for the good humor -- karma your way! I'm sure Bill will pass some along too.

[2airishuman]

that 23 footer will put you as close to the john as possible, it's like having a bedpan at your side...

and now for totally tasteless humor....

Q---what room in the house is like a sovereign state?

A---the bathroom room where.... urination.

Q---Why do people feel so sophisticated in the lavatory?

A---it's reserved for the european.

Pee'n, pass'n

PS, I'm not sure anyone wants anything Bill passed

Boys, boys, boys... On topic please.

Goldi, glad to hear you are pursuing this. I really don't think black tank capacity is much of an issue. You still wait for the tank to get near full even if staying longterm at a private campground with sewer hookups. It needs the full flushing effect to remove solids. Solids may get left behind if you don't do a bit of driving with fluids in there anyway. Another trick is on occasion to put 20# of ice cubes down the toilet into an emptied tank just when you leave for a new location -- they slide around knocking stuff loose and then melt.

Can't resist:

Q - Which part of a yard is like a brothel?

A - The Garden, because of all the hoeing.



I'm really getting off to a bad start here, aren't I.

Hummm, first of, Michael, this is the most I think I've seen you post in a single thread in quite awhile... sumthin about this thread...

2air, now THAT's a catch with 'ol Steve in Florida! Gee, Steve, here're the keys... take a test drive...

Goldilocks... you drink Folgers coffee? From the can?

CanoeStream, good advice.

[richie rich]

[quote=Goldilocks]well,it is nice to hear a question that has a little color. yellow i hope. camping on the blue ridge parkway is the RELIEF to both your problems.campground restrooms and $ 15 camping fee last time i checked.

[freedom]

Ok, this just gets confusing...
We have a toilet with a holding tank. I only 'assume' there is a tank; I have never seen it, but, nothing is on the ground with I flush, and something flows down the pipe when I dump the black water, so...what was the question again?
Oohh, and something about a pee bottle. But, I have a toilet? Why use a pee bottle?
And then there is a tree? But, I live in the desert, and the 'trees' have very large prickley things....don't go shaking there....
Then something about porridge. What was the question again?
And then I am supposed to 'pulverize' the stuff in the black tank?? YIKES!

Do any other RV'rs have this much fun/mass confusion?

Michael, we also use Passport America, and it has been money well spent...every year!

Have a great day everyone, and wink at yer AS as you go by.

Sorry, but I found that post funny.

2air thinks outside of the box I focus in. Kudos, Joe.

You ppl crack me up..

[funkill]

Goldilocks - I have camped as a single gal at many campgrounds in central & south florida. I've never had any problems (tent camping & with my AS). Maybe I've just been lucky - or maybe it's because I usually have my two dogs with me. The greyhound can be somewhat intimidating....

I was really intimidated about going through the dump station. I was amazed at how easy it was. Silly for me to have refrained from using my pottie for the first couple of trips!

I haven't paid more then $25 for a site yet. Even a few with power/water and waterfront! I'm sure that will change now that I'm venturing out a bit further (with my AS) and no longer paying for a tent site.

Wish you luck === I am loving my trailer and wish I had bought one earlier.
