A while later he came out of his camper and put on chem gloves and pulled out his maceration line. He proceeds to open the water shut off valve box and stick the hose in. Before I could stop him he began emptying his black tank all over the place. Management had to pour lime all over the place and completely dig out the valve box and clean this idiots mess up. If I owned the place he would have paid for the damage. The box didnt even resemble a sewer connection.
I saw the aftermath of something like this in an RV park in eastern Portland, OR. Lots of white pieces of TP in the valve box. Yuk!

She finished, put the sewer hose back in the bag, then the white water hose, then stowed it into the basement compartment and drove away.
She probably wonders why she and her kids always get sick when they use the MH.
Best Regards!
But hey; because she's using the trash bag, the inside of her storage compartment is clean, right? There's logic in there somewhere.
Today is just the tomorrow you worried about yesterday!

The end of the world will come but those kids immune systems will power them right past the rest.

Yep! I wonder in this day and age if we don't over emphasize these things to the detriment of building up a degree of immunity to all kinds of diseases. I don't think I have known anyone who has died from fecal infections and I sure know, being a diaper changing father of four kids, that I am pretty well immune. None of the hand sanitizers and compulsive worrying for me then or now. Not to give the wrong impression but I had to give the evil eye to my DIL in a restaurant as she handed out and demanded that her husband, four kids, my wife, and I use sanitized hand wipes after WE HANDLED THE MENUS! I looked her square in the eye and said, "You gotta be kidding?" End of discussion. The day I get that "careful" will be the day I go in the tin box--worrying about that kind of stuff isn't close to being a life for sane people.

Well it does happen. just do a little reading on e-coli. My wife almost died from e-coli while pregnant with our daughter. Got it from a restaurant. While a lot of e-coli comes from beef, or vegetables fertilized with cow manure, it can also live in the digestive tract of any warm blooded animal including humans.
We witnessed someone dumping on the dump station ground last summer at a state park. My wife is very passive so I was shocked when she got out of the truck with the video running on her phone. She walked to the rear of the trailer to get the license #, walked up and got a shot of the truck and plate #, said hello to the guy so he looked straight into the camera and then asked him if he p**p* on his driveway at home. He flipped her the bird which she caught on the video plus all his mess that was left behind. She never said another word and got back in the truck. We stopped at the park office and they downloaded the video. We can only hope that they followed through with locating the jerk.
