I want to know more about the white squirrels, do they help hook you up?
I have all black squirrels here, but mostly gray. They never offer to help, and won't share their nuts....

I always look for hookups. But so far, Walmart has not installed any.

I don't see anything unusual about not hooking up to sewer. Most motor home users want to exercies their engines occasionally anyway so why not just drive to the dump station and kill two birds with one stone? That allows you to choose a more scenic camp site at MOST RV Parking lots and often that means getting out of the parking lot and down to the lake front. Of course I have no way of knowing what THEIR reason for not hooking up would be.

Maybe, he was afraid that a baby alligator would crawl up the sewer line into his Trailer. You did see the movie about the alligators in the sewers?

AMEN ..!!!... Brother Dean .... AMEN ..!!!
I did not buy an RV with a bathroom in it so I would have a place to store my extra stuff ... I bought it to use as it was intended to be used...
However ... I do wish the Camp Grounds, RV Parks, Roadside Rest Areas and Service Stations would stop locking their toilet paper holders.... having to buy Toilet Paper wrecks my budget...

TWO CENTS WORTH
The story goes that a man died and was approached by the Devil who told him that he could buy his soul back for a dollar. The man searched his pockets and could only come up with 98 cent. While begging the Devil to forget the two cent he was short, an Angel happened by and hearing the Devil laughing, asked the man, "Would you mind if I put in my two cents ?" The Devil got so mad that he exploded in a puff of smoke and the man's soul was saved.
The moral: Sometimes putting in your two cents worth makes a difference.

Probably worried about pythons crawling up the tube. Much bigger problem than alligators. At least longer.
I just hook-up, dump, and put everything away. I'm an early riser, so the less there is to do in the morning, the better.

Hey Klueck-I'm down the road from you in a private park! We had some very heavy rains here a few weeks ago, you know the ones that flooded Georgia? They started here-anyway, the rain was so hard for so long that the sewer here filled up. I keep my black tank valve closed, but I leave the gray tank open. I was watching tv and heard this whooshing sound coming from my shower, then this unholy stench hit me-I made a beeline to the gray valve and closed it. I don't know what for sure was coming, but I sure as heck wanted to stop it!!

Quote:I know of a couple of people that don't hook up to the sewer until they are ready to dump. Then they unhook until the next time.
If we are parked somewhere for more than a few days, I typically only hook the stinky slinky up when needed and then restore it until the next time. This keeps the weedeaters and lawn mowers from damaging them and is also a courtesy to the people who are trying to keep the grass cut and trimmed.

I had a brother-in-law that wouldn't use the toilet in his motorhome. He always used the campground restrooms. I asked him why and his answer was he didn't want any poopy in his holding tank.

When he purchased the MH he should have mentioned that to the dealer. I'm sure they would have given him a discount after they ripped out the toilet and washroom.The savings would have continued in the form of less gas used to move a lighter vehicle. Hey this might start a new trend of fuel saving RVs!
