Ok, time for my confession. Almost flooded my '93 in Moab. I went to take a shower and no hot water! Got flustered since we were driving the car to Denver to visit friends for a couple days. Darnit, got out, toweled the cold water off, got dressed, locked up and drove off. We almost spent an extra night in Denver but decided to head back. Got back and immediately started changing out the water heater element. My wife yelled at me "we need to dump NOW!". OK I'm almost done, No we need to dump RIGHT NOW! It seems in my frustration I had pushed the shutoff valve on the shower head and not the faucet. That valve leaks a bit. It had leaked enough over a couple days to have filled the black tank and the shower floor was almost overflowing onto my new cork flooring. Thank goodness we didn't stay that extra night. So now when we leave for the night I always shut off the water at the hookup faucet.
