Just got back last night from a great 5 day weekend. found out the day before we were leaving that the holding tank has a hole in the top, somewhere. had been testing all the systems before we left and fixing water leaks. had about 20 gallons in the tank and was going to a local dump station to try out the drain function when the DOT guys wanted to know what was coming out of the back of my coach.

so we went camping anyway with the thoughts that the tank will hold fluid as long as you don't move. and we had hoped to have full hook ups any way. so by having the recirculating toilet we were able to go a couple of days at a time without filling the holding tank. smell was not too bad we used the vinegar method in each charge.

when we left the camp ground came over to pump the tank so we didn't have to move......of course his connection did not fit. felt like robin williams as we modified and taped some hoses together to get his pump to match the GMC output.

the camping was great we were about 15 feet from the river! could fish from the lawn chair beside the coach.
posting pics soon.

Once you replace everything that is attached to something else. It will all be fixed.
