Close But No Cigar

It was hard, but we tore ourselves away and drove the Journey to the FamCamp at Naval Weapons Station, Earle, NJ.  We got ourselves through the gate security, the guards were very friendly and heavily armed, after all, this is a place where they keep those things that go "Boom" for Navy ships.

When we pulled in, we were pleasantly surprised that we were assigned a site in the brand new section of the campground.  No more difficulties in dumping...or so we thought.

The site is wide enough to put two RVs in, and is actually a double cement slab.  We set up in our new home.

However, the designers got the dump connection wrong, resulting in hooking up like this:

I had to route by sewer hose under the Journey to the other side and exit around the right rear tires.  Fortunately, my Rhino Flex sewer hose is 15 feet long and reached the connection with no problems.

I was able to screw the connection in tight, but I still wanted to test it for my peace of mind.  So I had Marti keep her foot lightly on the connection elbow while I sent some grey water through the hose.  That way, if the connection leaked, well, Marti has way more shoes than I do.  Everything worked fine, so we have no worries with the sewer connection this time (Phew!).  :c)

So, we're back to visiting and helping out Corey, Amanda and little Anabelle, our whole reason for being here.  Life is good!
