I decided that I had to empty the black water tank today. It was starting to look a bit high. So in order to do that I had to pack up the trailer , hook it up and drive 7 miles to the KOA.
I closed the 2 slideouts and packed everything away fairly quickly. Then I had to try to raise the tongue up so I could hook it up, but when I unhooked when I got here it was night and I didnt' realize that one of the safety chains was caught under the jack and it wouldn't allow me to jack it up. Okay, so I tried to just lower it and see if the trailer could stand on it's own and could just pull the chain out. I could not get the thing loose from the block of wood. The trailer just kept dropping and not realeasing. Next step was to jack up the stabilizers so that when I then lowered the jack , the stabilizers would hold the trailer up. The tool I used on the stabilizers worked fiine on one side but kept slip(ping on the other. Lots of work for this little trip. My back is killing me tonight.
Then when I finally got to the KOA, I hooked up the sewer hose and turned back to open the valve and the sewer hose fell apart(before I opened the valve ). I had to go inside so the could call a maintenance man to help me put it back together again. He did and I was able to open the valve but only opened it part way and it immediately started to leak__PANIC__. I thought quick and just opened it all the way and that solved the problem , thank goodness.
Then I drove back and started to set up the trailer again. Dumb me, I opened up the front slideout without putting out the support rail. It only weighs about 1000#s. 3 helpers later and a crowbar and we got it back up to where it was supposed to be on the support bar.
Then tonight, I got Ritchie to help with the the Dish service. No dice, it's it not working at all now. I will have to call a tech I guess.
Started watching a movie last night called KPAX. I like it.
