Then It's Something Else

Good news first
Slide room seems to work just fine now, after a long voyage to proper repair.  Needs a little adjustment with a bottle jack and a screwdriver, but [hopefully] that will prove minor.

Bad News next
Our black tank is leaking.  Has been occasionally for a year now, but gettin' worse, despite two repairs.

How does one know that the black tank leaks?  How you tell that a septic tank is leaking?  Now think of that tank leaking in your basement.  Got the picture?  Now color it black.

Replacing the black tank requires many hours crawling around under the trailer with implements of destruction.  I plan to hire an RV guy to help, as in do most of the work.  It won't be pretty, but at least we are.

Yes, it seems there is always a repair of some sort to do on the RV, or if there is not, then some new rv accessory we think we can't live without. Sorry to hear about the repairs,and of course, the black! We hope all repairs will go ok!

Sorry to hear that you need to replace the black tank. We were hoping for an easier fix for you. Good luck on that one. Learn lots so we can pick your brain if needed down the road lol.

Makes me feel not quite so bad about all the dang weeds growing in our flower beds. No matter where you go, there you are having to do something you really don't want to!
