Angie and I are RVing fulltime in our 2006 Monaco Knight 40PLQ. I work full time as a web programmer, and Ang works full time taking care of me :-). Thanks for reading our stuff.
I have always been a big fan of the RV Sani-Con waste system. I'm not sure I would sing from the hills that I am a fan of the pooper pump, but why not. It is a great system, and I do not miss the Stinky Slinky one bit! The Sani-Con allows us to run a 1 ½" line to the sewer so it doesn't look bad, no rinsing and flushing of the big fat Slinky, and I don't have to store The Beast while on the road.

The system has always worked great for me (save the time I left the little green cap on the end and had to do a little "clean up on isle 6"), and I wouldn't be without one. However, I have had MUCH problem with the relay that controls the pump. The relay is used between the power switch and the Sani-Con and is suppose to send power to the pump when the switch is thrown. After about six months of use, the relay started acting up, and emptying the tanks became a challenge. Thus began - Fun With Relays.
The first week of the new year has evaporated, and it felt like it just wizzed by. Will this be indicative of the new year? Will this one move faster than the last? Everyone tells me that as you get older, time moves by faster. I tend to agree with that, but I am pretty sure it is just because the older you get, the more stuff you have to do. Stuff to do fills in all of the spaces that use to be downtime when we were younger. The downtime is what makes the time move slow.
The first week passing into the new year has special meaning in south Florida. The turn of the year is like the state of Florida goes to Northern People Buffet, and fills up on people. By the end of the first week, the state wishes it would have worn stretchy pants.
