whoofit - I'm thinking your true calling in life has emerged ----> You are a potty humorist. I encourage you to go to open mic night at the closest comedy club and unload your shit stories on the unsuspecting patrons. You'll have them crying with embarrassed laughter.

[a href="http://www.rvjesters.com/blog/2015/7/26/rv-2-rules"]Here's an amusing description of a technique[/a] for managing the 'peanut butter' (PB) while still conserving water (while boondocking):

QuoteMy approach for this experiment is to take 2 squares of paper and lay them from the bottom opening up to a little past where you are going to drop the PB, then lay two more squares adjacent to the first two. A successful experiment will have the paper in the perfect landing zone for the PB. Make the drop then carefully fold the paper down towards the bottom in order to get the PB closest to the funnel opening without getting PB on your fingers. Finally, rinse the PB through the bottom funnel opening using as little water as possible. To be kind to the next experimenter, use a few squares of paper to clean the funnel if necessary. Wash hands before returning to work.

Here is a tip I got from another RVer - keep a spray bottle of plain water in your bathroom.  Just spray your toilet when it is necessary. This way you can hold off using chemicals until just before you go to the dump station. You use it immediately, rather than wait for your spouse - wife - to do it!

Maybe even work my way to center stall? That reminds me of a certain politician who was performing open mic center stall in a men's room a few years back...but I am NOT going there!  :-X

[/quote]I did consider it. I even sent an email to the factory but never got a response. Truthfully, the trailer has 28 fresh, 32 gray and 14 black. The black and gray seems pretty well balanced with each other for our use. I used to have a lot of excess capacity in the black tank in our other trailer. We would hand dump some gray dish water into the black to top it off before calling the honey wagon.

[/quote][font size="3"]No surprise on the email response. Phone calls work much better if you can get to a real person.

We do the same thing with dish water if we're out for a while without a sewer connection. The soap is good in the black tank. It's the heart of the Geo method. Fresh water is easier to haul or find than gray water for disposal, even with blue tanks.[/font]
