Camping Bloopers

"Next time use a flashlight"

There are several couples that camp locally together in our group. One couple arrived late to the campground one night after everyone else had already set up their campers and it was dark outside. Two of my friends went over to the new arrival's camper to help him set up. Most of the time our campsites only have electric hookups but this particular campground had full hookups. After having his camper all "plugged in", Doug, the late arrival, noted a creaking sound from inside his camper.

Continued from newsletter…

He investigated and could find no cause and wrote it off to the settling in of the camper until he heard a "Gush!" come from below the camper. In the darkness, the water had been mistakenly fastened to the flush fitting instead of the city water fitting. His black water tank had filled until it burst. With a little rinsing of the pad beneath the camper, everything turned out alright and Doug used the facilities at the campground that weekend.
