This weekend was the annual Hill Climb at Lake Lure, N.C. The nightly temps were in the low 40s and the new insulated curtains worked very good. They hug the walls and the cold glass air was not noticable unless you put your hand under the curtain. Furnace kept it toasty. Made the trip on one tank of gas, no problems.
PS: Flying J now charges $10 to dump. Guess I got a new project for the new house.

Just depend on how the house was set up. Most (like my brother's in Arizona) have sewer clean outs with a screw on cap. Those are easy. But the one at home, has a cap that is hard to remove... (clamps and stuff) plus it is JUST out of reach of my current dump hose extension.
That is a small project for sometime before next spring... convert the clean out to an easier to remove cap, trim the bushes around it and get a longer extension hose. Should be less than $10 plus the cost of the hose.
Sure would be nice to be able to dump the tanks as soon as possible to pulling into the driveway. (Not allowing the "stuff" to settle.)

Macerator and a 50 foot hose. No need to modify anything!
