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.

Silence

History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.
