    Looks like a trio of supercells so I think you're still good with the typo!

    I'd give my left arm for that rain. Went by the farm on the way in from the coast and I did not think it was possible but the grass is even drier. I moved cows to different pastures but it looks like I'll be feeding hay in a week. Cows can't live on brown grass...

    Being a farmer myself, I've been there and I feel your pain. Seems like we have nothing but extremes anymore.

    Left home it was 98. Got here, 41 miles, it was 77. Easily got set up, rain had let up. Felt great.

    Got ac, no water yet.....rain started again. Just sitting here looking out the window, watching the thermometer go down, thinking about life. Which is good.

    Either having leftover pulled pork sammich or a chili dog. Both microwave specials. Deal with hooking up water in a bit.

    Lazy me.

    Under pressure, commode blowing water everywhere!

    My luck. Five days without water!

    Had repair guy fix one leak last week. We tested! No leaks!

    Now blown up. Some fitting inside toilet water connection. Will have to pull whole commode tomorrow. Not sure what to do then. Over my pay grade.

    What a mess......

    Go to the 3 way in Greers, turn left (east) and go to FL Davis, Ace Hardware, they have a counter in the back and they can get you the help you need, if you don't need any, you can get your repairs there too.

    RVing is starting to sound as owning a boat.

    If it's coming from the toilet itself, can't you just shut the water off at the stopcock and at least have water for sinks, shower, etc?

    Sumpin' tells me you froze all the lines this past winter. It could be a case of fixing one leak and another pops up at the next weakest link. This may not be your last leak.

    And I know from experience ... campers ARE like boats .... AND Corvettes! I'm with Cappy, never again.

    That was my thoughts too Jim. I figure the pipes froze over the winter. Most times they will break at or near a fitting. When they tested after the first fix the other did not show up right away because the camper had not been moved. The process of hauling it and it bumping around made the second hairline crack open up. There could be more but won't know until this second leak is fixed and full pressure is applied again. It is also possible others have a hairline that will open Later after more road trips and bouncing around.

    Most rv does not have a shut of valve as houses do. I have to install mine after a not so bad but similar situation last camping trip.

    bucky, all you can do is cut the water off, find where the leak is and get you a sharkbite shut of valve. Those fit any type conduit but you have to have the correct size. You could just cut the pipe if you can and take it to lowes, mention sharkbite and they know. It will be like $15 but it will save your trip.

    Good luck.

    PS - If i have to guess it will be the connector or the toilet pump itself that cracked. I really hate to hear about it, you are supposed to be having fun, not stressing out...

    In a hotel, you just call the front desk and ask for "Maintenance".

    Well, Buckney, if the water is squirting in the right direction, just turn it into a "bidet."

    No 9 dollar hotels.

    Wife's family reunion is not at a hotel.

    Have the commode out. Have the broken piece out. Headed back to Moix RV in Conway to see if they have replacement. If not, on to camping world in nlr.

    10-7 till police arrest me for going postal.

    If you think that campsite cost you 9 dollars you are crazy. You got more than a motel room cost in gas this weekend just hunting a part. Not to mention the cost of the trailer, truck, Insurance and TROUBLE.

    I love camping. We have a modest pop up. Would like one like Bucky has one day.
    But camping ain't cheap!

    I tell people (who don't camp) that camping is where you spend money like a millionaire to go sleep in the woods like a homeless person.
