Be Prepared!!!

OK, new experience this last weekend. We met the brother-in-law & his wife at a large commercial RV "resort" (his choice, had a bar on the premises). Hook up the slinky, connect hose to the screw-in elbow going into the ground connection, hose falls out. What? Closer exam reveals that I have somehow managed to lose the gasket that resides inside the elbow and makes the connection tight. Trip to Wally World the following morning, $4, and I am back in business, with a spare gasket to boot.

Moral: carry a back up gasket.

When you need a gasket sooner than you can get someplace to buy one, rubber bands often can be used to make field-expedient gaskets, as long as you don't plan to use them on anything hot…

Or you could walk around the campground......they are left every day by other campers too.

OOOOOOOO yuk, you say? Poop is poop, mine ain't no better than the other guy's.
