PM for you.
Just be sure to ask if it has a waste holding tank. Some of those came out without one.
a nice hole in the floor and a 5 gallon bucket works real nice

Feelay most of them have no trailer brakes and no holding tanks. Some of the first ones were out of dealers stock and they have everything. Being an 06 I bet it does not.

As you can see NO HOLDING TANK!!!
You can buy a plastic one from a RV dealer and have it installed or when we bought an old school bus we had a dude weld us up some steel ones as we were going down lots of gravel roads elk hunting in the mountains. It's not a big deal.
I got a hand me down pop up I can rent ya Feelay.

Just make the boys rough in on the ground outside. Plenty of room then for you and the misses to play slap and tickle. Wannabe tested, Wannabe approved.

With me and the boys in there together, it won't be formaldehyde fumes that are the issue!:D
I was just about to say...they got stuff that will make formaldehyde look tame..Like Tony Joe White and Polk Salad Annie:eek::eek: Poor wife doesn't have a chance.
GERMAN BEER will do it every time""""""Quote:

Just sleep with the window open and turn on a fan. ;) That will at least move the toxicity/gas cloud around a bit. :D
Prolly right Feelay. I think for a week at a lick, even high concentrations wouldn't be an issue. The problem was probably caused by brand new manufactured homes and people living in them 24x7 as housing. I would imagine they've probably all been made with formaldahide, but normally would take a long time to get to the end user and then the end user would only stay in them for a weekend or week at a time.
Makes sense.

Some of those FEMA trailers sold at auction recently in Louisiana.......buyers had to sign an acknowledgement that formaldehyde was used in the manufacturing.....I would not worry about it if used only occasionally....open the windows and air it out often.....it will begin to smell OK.....Quote:

so it has NO tanks at all......
ours has freshwater, gray water, black water I thought it just didn't have the blackwater tanks as was intended to hook up directly to sewer system.
OH OH. There's a gotcha for sure! :eek:
CN, we were at Enid a few years ago and at night we would let our grey water go, they did not have sewer. An older gentleman knocked on my door at about 10 and asked if I could help him. He had pulled the black water tank valve and sent his sewage down the hill. I sent him to walmart to buy 5 bags of Oil Dri and we got it up before the ranger found it.
He explained to me that the majority of the FEMA trailers were produced with no tanks at all and were run by electricity. So no gas for the stove. They were intended to pull up to a full service rv park.
I just knew there had to be a good Torch story in there somewhere.
ha ha ha...yep....and he deals with a lot of it and always knows what to do. :DQuote:
