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.

A Mere Bristle on the Hog
It is strange to me that life itself doesn't strike the average person as all that impressive, but for some reason "intelligent" life does. When you consider life as a whole, intelligence is a mere bristle on the hog.
