It's Time to Quit When You Start Destroying Things
After dinner last night, we dragged our weary bodies out for another work session. With all the lights installed, it's easy to work inside the trailer now. We finished gutting the bathroom (sink/countertop, vanity, black tank cover) and I got in the corners with Purple Power degreaser and the vacuum to get everything cleaned. We've now cleaned the entire trailer at least once, and I'll be returning to it this week with Lysol/water mix to get it finished.
Brett filled the gray tank and tested the valve I rebuilt yesterday (worked fine), and we also tested the Tank Monitor. Wow! I've never had one before. Very cool ... But it was 10:30 pm at that point, and I let the Monitor control panel touch a fragment of aluminum, and POOF! (insert whiff of smoke here) ... Dead Tank Monitor.
Well, that was the fastest $80 I ever spent. You can't get just the Monitor control panel as a replacement part. So we'll order a new one this week. If that's the only disaster we encounter on this job, I'll consider us lucky. But it was a sign that we needed to get some sleep, so everyone cleaned up and knocked off for the day.

Good work so far guys.
Too bad about your tank monitor mishap.
I'm a electronics wizard and would be glad to take a look at it if you think it could be repaired.
Keep up the good work!
