Tales of the unexpected

Well the inaugral trip was full of surprises. 100 degree day turned into severe storms and flash flood warnings. Inspite of the weather we had a good visit. All systems opperated as expected and our belief that we had  selected the right coach for us. There was one minor problem. During a steady morning rain it came time to empty the holding tanks. No big deal as hose was already connected, simply a matter of opening valve and drain black then grey water tanks. When I opened the valve to drain the black water said hose split open and began spraying waste water every where.  Oh hell! Nothing to be done but buy a new drain hose and drain later. Made for a crazy end to a crazy weekend.
