I live in an rv. Our place is plumbed directly into the sewage lines from out of the tanks. When we flush the toilet, the water very rarely actually goes down - like there's too much water in the bowl. We have to plunge the toilet to lower the water and waste level, then flush it 2 or 3 times to get the water to be clear or clear-ish. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

I have been making tea for 42 years. I'm from Texas and was taught to boil it, let it cool, add sugar and water, put in pitcher in fridge. I've made tea under every circumstance - different pots, different brands, etc. Every once in a while I would get an icky batch but for 2 or 3 weeks almost every pot I make gets a film on top and turns cloudy. It also tastes awful. I have boiled it less, heated it in the microwave, used different tea bags and a different pot. I cannot understand why this is happening. Any ideas?

I live in my travel trailer full time, stationary. There is no longer a dump valve as we are plumbed in the septic from the tank. We went to Florida to help my daughter remodel for a month. When we returned to Indiana, the contents in the grey tank had hardened since no water had flowed during this time. Now when we run the bathroom sink it backs up into the tub. The only way to access the tank now is through the floor which we are planning on replacing, just not financially able to do so at the moment, so I'd rather not rip it out yet if I can solve this another way. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with this? I'm using an outdoor shower for now, which was fine but Indiana is

I know it's a long shot but - in the early to mid-80's I traveled with my Grandparents in their travel trailer often. Grandpa was an evangelist, so we were all over the place, even out to AZ. We stayed at an RV park at least twice and I'd guess it to be central-east central Texas, my only clues being we visited my Grandma's aunt in McQueeney and my grandparents spent most of their lives in the Seguin, El Campo, Wharton areas. This park was beautiful but nothing special. It had showers, lots of trees - nice ones and I don't remember many pines - the spots weren't too close to each other and it was decently sized. It COULD have had a creek or small moving body of water running through it. Ove
