Recently while I was discussing our upcoming Solar installation with Eddie,we got to talking about Poop hauling.I’m sure Eddie started it because it is something I would never discuss. How’s the view under that bus Eddie,LOL?.
Anyway,right after that talk or before it I can’t recall, I found our used 20 some odd gallon blue boy on Craigslist for 20 some odd dollars and like all of them,it has the hard tires on plastic wheels which surely can’t last long with any heavy poop haul.I don’t know about you people,but I still eat meat,so I can see my blue boy heavier than most and I have always had this nightmare of a wheel breaking while hauling it to the dump and I know me,,,,,,,,,,,,I’d probably just have to drag it to the side of the road and leave it,because dragging it the rest of the way to the dump and then back to the rig and fixing it would be far less enjoyable than watching it set there on the side of the road for (I dunno) 4 or 5 days until someone else decides to attempt to remove it,dump it and repair it.I mean I only paid 20 bucks for it and now I’m gonna get 50 bucks worth of enjoyment just watching some scavenger embarrass him/herself,how cool is that?.
But anyway,that is now just a dream because my new best friend Eddie who is under the bus was talking about our poop riding on air.
That’s right,I now have a set of inflatable “cart” tires coming for ole blue and they are the same 10 inches in height and altho abit wider,I think I will have plenty of room for them.I will have to drill a hole in each axle for a cotter pin as they now have those darned metal caps to keep them on.Side note here,Who ever thought of putting those metal push on caps on the axles that transport something this important?.Did they never think they might come off on a bumpy road?
Now,this isn’t the end,because just tonight I was in my basement and noticed an old air compressor tank on inflatable wheels I hadn’t noticed prior to buying mine a few night ago.I have plans to install that tank in my shop and run air from my other compressor into it and will mount it to the floor,so guess what Eddie?.
That’s right my new best friend,I’m gonna send you those tires and wheels for your blue boy and you and me can be the only or at least some of the few hauling our poop on air.
Now,for my next project I’m gonna label my blue boy 40 gallon capacity and when Lisa hooks it up for the first time,I’m gonna say “No problem Honey,it will hold it all,just take that smaller cap off the other end so it gets plenty of air”.Gosh I love that woman and I might add,she is so lucky to have me as well.
OK,have a great week everyone.

"Let's Make a Point To Leave This Place Better Than When We Came, One Life at a Time."Could get a composting toilet and when you fill er up, dispose the full bag in a dumpster. Kinda like babies diapers and puppies poop bags. and its legal. Properly composted that is.

They already have the Blueboy.
Besides, those kinda toilets are way too expensive for the average RV’er.
Why not just use a litter box? Just kidding

"Let's Make a Point To Leave This Place Better Than When We Came, One Life at a Time."Well,I got my new wheels yesterday and thought I would try to show a photo.I haven’t done the complete install yet,but they will fit perfectly.There is a 2 inch plastic shim on the original axle which I will cut in half and install the new wheel with a washer on the outside and then the cotter pin in a newly drilled hole.
I’ll sell the old wheels on Ebay to some poor soul who’s turd hauler is setting in the desert somewhere with a broken wheel.
Only thing I wish I had looked for was chrome wheels.Yep,chrome wheels on my poop wagon.That would be so cool.Chrome wheels and some armour all on my blue boy cruising to the dump station.Even those guys with the high dollar 57 chevy looking golf carts would be drooling.
Maybe my new calling is customizing poo haulers.Hmmmmmmmmmm

Well,I sold my old wheels on Ebay a few weeks ago and they went all the way to Yuma,Az.
Kinda makes me wonder if some poor soul down there broke one of his out there in the boonies somewhere and had to leave his poo poo wagon sittin in the desert until mine arrived to get him back on the road.
