Due to a power failure, I had a carton of milk in my rig that spoiled, so I flushed the stuff! My thought was that the additional bacteria in the bad milk would help the blackwater tank break down the solids already in there. It was about 1/3 full from the previous trip when I left so I didn't bother to empty it Well, that may have happened, but sitting for 2 weeks in the hot Virginia sun behind my house made for some tremendous odor!!!! I opened up the door, and could barely stand the odor! As soon as I got to my destination, I hit the dump station and did a few rounds with the flush king....I'll remember not to do that again!

Oh, mama, I can smell it from here! Phew! Kinda combines all the best aspects of a dairy on a really hot day - minus the flies, of course.
