I did the mod suggested by some on the forum of adding a valve to the end of the sewer pipe where it comes out of the rig so that I could shut it and not have to deal with the little surprise many Monty's seem to save up for your first stop after going down the road. In my case I also added a clear 90 and a cap. We'll when I came down from the mountains and stopped for the night I'd forgotten to close that valve and the little surprise was waiting for me. Imagine my surprise when I removed the cap and it was pressurized due to the change in altitude and temperature.

As Diesel Guy said on another thread: Remember Robin Williams at the dump station? In the RV'ing world, at times, you learn from your mistakes. Believe me this won't happen to me again.
