Two Days to Go!

     Well, we are in the dodo now, I guess when buying a used RV one should expect the unexpected but this was not one we were expecting or wanting for our worst enemy.  Our black water tank which I explained in the last post was half full when we brought it home and apparently dry so material was dried on the inside of the tank.  We have been emptying and rinsing the tank once a week hoping that we could dislodge some of the dried on material.  Today we discovered a crack in the tank, we have apparently cleaned the sides well and exposed a crack.
     My husband is a very handy man and was able to figure out a way to patch the crack, thanks to a phone call to a mobile RV repair man.  Glue, fiberglass hairdryer and he was set.  Four hours later and he hopes he has conquered the leak.  If this does not work it means we will need a new tank.  What more can go wrong?  We are waiting until morning to make a decision about the move.  We do not feel it is wise to move to the RV park with a leaking black water tank.
     If he has conquered the leak we have to get the 5th wheel ready to be towed, that in itself will be an all day job.  Do folks who travel south have to pack up breakables?  We don't know so we are going to do it and be safe.
     So many things to think about when buying a used RV and we didn't think of half of them, you need to check for leaks, cracks, condition of the tanks, size of the fridge, size of the bed (this one we did check), condition of the carpet, did the previous owner  have dogs, how much cupboard space is there, and etc.
     Hopefully our next blog will be from our new parking spot, until next time.
