As they say, “a picture is worth a thousand words“, so this week I will let the picture speak to you.
This is one of many reason’s I am thankful for the amenities of a RV when camped in the boondocks or anywhere else for that matter. Evidently this was left behind by a previous camper in the Seven Troughs Mining District in Nevada. Maybe they forgot to incorporate a clean out system when they designed it and decided it was best left behind.
No, I didn’t lift the lid to find out!
Strange finds in the boondocks, just another adventure in RVing!
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and if you can relate to the picture above, I hope there is a self contained RV in your New Year!

Dave Helgeson’s many roles in the RV industry started before he even had a driver’s license. His grandparents and father owned an RV dealership before the term “RV” had been coined, and Dave played a pivotal role in nearly every position of an RV dealership. He and his wife Cheri launched their own RV dealership in the Pacific Northwest. The duo also spent 29 years overseeing regional RV shows. Dave has also served as President of a local chapter of the Recreational Vehicle Dealers Association (RVDA), worked on the board of advisors for the RV Technician Program of a local technical college, and served as a board member of the Manufactured Home and RV Association. Dave’s reputation earned him the title of “The foremost expert on boondocking,” bestowed by RV industry icon, the late Gary Bunzer (The RV Doctor). When he’s not out boondocking, you’ll find Dave in the spotlight at RV shows across the country, giving seminars about all things RVing. He and Cheri currently roam in their fifth travel trailer, with Dave doing all the service, repair and modifications to his own unit.
