    I believe it's real.

    It is truly depraving. Disgusting and not acceptable. We carried a proper human built camp toilet capable of properly handling solid waste should we need to use it. And properly dispose of it. Its essentially a full toilet, just a dry type. Good for -60 when it's worth it not to go outside.

    I'll field THIS one, it's true. A guy I worked with worked at a truck repair shop for a while, a truck came in, I won't say the make, or the 2 guys nationality driving it( you can figure it out, pigs is pigs) with a driveline problem, bring it in, they said. Right away, he knew something was wrong, it smelled terrible. Upon closer inspection, there was a hole in the sleeper floor, and the driveshaft and 1st pumpkin were covered with crap.They had to blow it off before working on it. Imagine following that schmuck.:puke:
    Speaking of sleeper strings, older KW's with a single sleeper "coffin" had a hole in the bed floor, and opening the side box, you could pull the string to open the sleeper door to get in. I doubt you see that today.

    Be careful pulling it before you research where it goes, older truck may be quick release for 5th ( high speed chase you can release your trailer loaded illegally).
    Newer truck ( pull it during a major wreck and cab will fill with foam protecting you from harm).
    Surely the semi that hit the wrecker last week had the foam version. The way that truck came apart, driver must of been foamed in.

    Well hell, I forgot about this post . These comments are hilarious. So one day I was waiting on location to get unloaded and I got to looking around and noticed a T handle coming out the side wall panel behind passenger seat with a wire rope attached to it. Never seen that before so I thought I’d ask on the forum. I got called to get unloaded and forgot about it. Well I log on to the forum, (cause it’s been a while) and I see all these comments . Well for anyone wondering, I pulled the crap out of it, all the wire came out and it started playing the cucaracha song. Now it won’t stop playing unless I disconnect the batteries :confused:. :DY’all have a good one!
