Oops

Zephyrhills, Florida

I guess I am a slow learner. 

When we first got this motorhome and I started using the washer/dryer combo.  I didn’t tighten the screw on vent properly and got a small water leak, that I noticed right away.  It screws on with a rubber o-ring.

Yesterday, I ran the carpet shampooer in the living room and went to grab a small fan that lives in the bedroom near the washer/dryer.  Uh oh….the fan was wet!

I had been having a stiff neck all morning, and it was killing me by this time.  I was just getting ready to lay down on a heating pad for my neck.

But no…..I had a very wet carpet because I didn’t quite get the valve screwed in quite tight enough.  I had washed and rinsed one entire load.  I don’t think all the water leaked out, but enough to soak the carpet around the washer.

So my heating pad had to wait. 

I clean this little vent out every few loads and it’s kind of difficult to turn it to get it out. The last time, I decided to not tighten it back quite as tight.  BIG MISTAKE!   I tightened it plenty…but not as tight as I could.  Lesson Learned.

I towel dried it as best as I could and left three fans running overnight.  It appears to be mostly dry this morning.

Never did get the bedroom carpet shampooed….but it got a good rinsing.
