Being conservative...


If you think this is political, you lose all your bonus points.

We are on "day 8" of our 9 days out.  I explained the 21 days in, 9 days out thing in a previous post.  Our membership allows us to "buy our 9 days out" in the overflow area, which has water, electric, and cable TV... but, no sewer connections.  I really thought that we would have to unhook (and pull in the slides and pull up the leveling jacks) to go the short distance to a dump site where we can dump our gray and black tanks - at least once during this 9 day time frame.

We made the decision to use the nearby showerhouse (which is very nice - private rooms with shower/toilet/sink, tiled floors) instead of using our own shower this week.  I am not a fan of schlepping stuff to a public showerhouse, but I am less of a fan of having to unhook to go dump.

The gray tank is still reading 1/3, the black tank just went to 2/3.  Unless we go crazy with the potty or dish washing, we are in great shape to make it through the 9 days.  I am impressed with our Aspect and our ability to be conservative when we need to.  When we have a sewer connection, we generally have to dump gray every three or four days, and black once every 6 or 7.

It has been rainy off and on yesterday and will be through Sunday - that makes a difference, too, because we are inside more.  We have been dining out regularly (as usual) and only doing dishes once a day.  Steph was concerned, but we put her mind at ease that our hygiene has been as usual.

Getting close - two more nights to go.  ;-)
