So much for the sunshine state, I’m thinking of hiring one of the multitude of lawyers down here to take the state legislature to court for false advertising. Every license plate proclaims Florida to be the Sunshine State, but in the immortal words of Bill Withers, “There Ain’t no Sunshine”
Yet again another cloudy, wet but warm day. Thursday is shopping day, so off we went… not a single craft or fabric store was visited! When we got back I had to go and get the propane tank refilled at the local RV store and pick up yet another replacement part under warranty.
This was one of the not so pleasant repair jobs that required a pair of rubber gloves. The way the toilet works is a little different from the home variety. A foot pedal serves to turn on the water and open a flap at the base of the toilet that allows the contents to drop into the holding tank below. This flap operates against a rubber gasket that forms an air/water tight seal so that after flushing the smells don’t rise up into the bathroom, and a small amount of water remains in the bowl. Well the seal didn’t … the water leaked out, luckily the odour stayed below, so armed with rubber gloves the old seal had to be removed and replaced with the new one. I’ll spare you the gory details, but trailer life is not all fun and sun; today it was neither.
My third stereo is on its way (my last warranty claim as we have had the trailer for a year now), hopefully this one will work!
