Too much
That the black tank dropped and rested on the rolled under fiberglass body panel for a good many rough country miles before it finally slid off on a swelteringly hot bone jarring ride on one of those poorly poured concrete roads in Iowa is pretty amazing.
I think a couple of factors contributed. First, I seldom travel with the waste tanks more than 1/2 full. Experience has taught me I need a cushion so I can live aboard a few days while awaiting emergency repairs. This puppy has been towed 3 times in the short while I've had it. Second, it was bloody hot that day - when the tank fell to the ground it was soft and folded at the rear mounts.

Do We Really Mean What We Say
There are a lot of things that make me wonder whether we ever look ourselves straight in the face and really mean what we say when we are patting ourselves on the back.
