Well it had to happen sometime.  In my water bay I noticed some dirty water.   ( PS. Sandy does not know and will not know until she reads this post.The last thing I need for her to be supervising me during this repair :-).   Of course the supervision would come from 50’ away because she is not going to get any closer to this fix.  Smart Girl)

I guess I can now add sanitary engineer to my resume.  I had a slow leak at the bottom of the black water tank.  Now mind you to get at this leak I need to be a circus contortionist.  Imagine being in the next campsite and seeing this 61 year old man on his back inside this small water bay with plastic gloves, glasses, and a tube of silicone.  What a site to see :-)

I must admit I am learning a lot of new skills that I never knew I had.  (Including writing a blog).

Any how on with my story.  The water bay is approximately 2’ off the ground and at best I would be able to get my head (with glasses), a flashlight, my two shoulders, and arms in the bay.  What am i to do with the rest of my body that is hanging out 2’ off the ground.  Again, picture the camper next to me when he sees me stack 8 - 12x12x12 boards two layers deep outside of my water bay to support my body.  I can hear his wife now.  “GEORGE, Grab the camera and take video for You Tube of this clown next door”.  :-0

24 hours after the first fix:  Crap, I mean literally, I still had a leak.  Back to the drawing board.  I mean waterbay.

48 hours:  I think I fixed it.  Fingers crossed.  It was a combination of the silicone and tightening some hose clamps that was the final fix.

As I am finishing up typing this outside the COW, I looked over to the right and I see water coming off the passenger side back corner of the COW.  I hope this is just condensation coming off the Air Conditioning??  Did I say I hate PLUMBING!!!.  

Time to go check it out.

By the way we are now in Amherst, Nova Scotia.
