"Stinky Head" "Stinky Head"
Yep....thats the reason we haven''t been inviting guests out with us.
When we purchased Tondelayo last September, I asked the seller all the pertinent questions. Holding tanks, valves, discharges.....you know the drill. He took me through all of it step by step and how to pump out the holding tank.
A couple of weekends later I tried to pump the holding tank and found it was empty???? I was guilty of illegal discharging....straight overboard and into the Pacific. I figured out the proper valve configurations and solved that one. But everything still worked hard...pumped hard bowl drained poorly. I contacted the prior owner by e-mail with some questions and.....He said "I din''t quite know.....we never used the head, we brought our "Porta Potty". Six years, Two trips to Hawaii and one trip to Alaska and they used a Prota Potty!!!?
Well thanks to the "Stinky Head" post I tackled the problem yesterday. After taking apart the "Y" valve and finding it 1/2 clogged with sealent and then rebuilding the hand pump and the liberal use of "Sailkote" along the way. It now works like a dream.
