Well, I will continue surgery tomorrow. I will be redoing the tank drain plumbing from the grey and black tanks to include a cleanout valve very close to the dump valves of each tank. I hope this will allow easy cleanout should this happen again.

I was told today by an RV supplier that Thetford sends American made TP to RV suppliers, and China made TP to KOA, Camping World, Wal-Mart, etc. He has heard of this China TP not being made to specks and not disolving. We did the TP water glass test and our TP just floated and clumped after about 60 minutes. I was told it should be broken down to small bits within 15 minutes. We checked, and out TP says it was maide in the America. Who knows.

I replaced the LP tank that I know had issues. We will see if we have improvements with heat and LP flow tonight.

Thank you all for helping Tammy to cope. This has helped me tremendously to focus on Elly Mae. I will keep you all posted - photos to follow.
