Besides, I think it isn't feasible to try to buy just one anyway, and a whole package would take up too much room.<br /><br />Ha! Google is my friend once again, answering the question of how much will an adult diaper hold? The answer is 600 cc, which apparently is a bit over 20 ounces, or about two and a half cups. That would seem like enough to use in the middle of the night when you get up and find that your toilet is somehow unusable, and there is no wide-mouth container available.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8380348623382527060.post-50113200029890974002014-06-26T19:54:08.421-06:002014-06-26T19:54:08.421-06:00OMG, that is so funny!

I've been thinking about what could be done . . . you could have surreptitiously put an adult diaper down under where the antifreeze was coming out, and put rocks on it to hold it in place! A baby diaper would probably be sufficient, but an adult diaper would be much more . . . ah, humorous! ;-> <br /><br /> Virtual hugs,<br /><br /> Judie Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8380348623382527060.post-90188407656006342422014-06-26T10:07:32.639-06:002014-06-26T10:07:32.639-06:00I went thru some Onan generator problems with my l...I went thru some Onan generator problems with my last rig. It was a diesel generator with only 50 hrs on it, but 3 yrs old. Took the multiple svc facilities 3 months to finally figure out the problem, and during the process at one point they thought I might need a new generator. The price for a diesel version? $6000 plus labor! So, $3500 sounds like a great deal! Your's is the model I now have on my current rig, so nice to know what the cost will be when the time comes. Fortunately, Cummins Onan is a pretty good company to work with. Even though that problem diesel genny was just beyond its warranty, once they finally discovered the problem was a wire routing defect caused during manufacturing, Cummins paid all costs in full to have it repaired and pay for all my previous service diagnostic bills as well. So, even though it's expensive, this should be money very well spent in the long run for you!Lynne (WinnieViews)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17043666828785051719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8380348623382527060.post-4977932689122671422014-06-26T10:04:02.605-06:002014-06-26T10:04:02.605-06:00As for the inconsiderate camper....

At least now you won't have to give it much thought. So much better than wondering IF it will work or IF you have enough oil.

Still, something went wrong with one of ours in July between Reno and Las Vegas. So, it's the luck of the draw. I know it hurts to part with that much money, but I'll make you feel better. I spent almost 20K on new heating and air about 5 years ago. Then, it was painting the house and the list goes on.<br /><br />Too bad you ran into such miserable people. Surely they know that anti-freeze is dangerous for animals. I don't think I would have been quite as nice as you were so I congratulate you and wish you smooth sailing with your new generator. :)Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371157074687319596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8380348623382527060.post-83097308183947610772014-06-25T16:55:59.518-06:002014-06-25T16:55:59.518-06:00Ouch!

When you consider the beating these rigs take going down the highway and into campgrounds and sometimes even into sand, it makes it easier to understand why things can go wrong.
