Michael you are not alone.....
Cynthia and I were "camped" at the beautiful Las Vegas Motorcoach Resort. Roads are pristine blacktop and sites are concrete. Everything is just so new and clean and we want it to stay that way. There were five swimming pools ( I think ) and a workout center. Well I am in the Newell probably checking out the WiFi and Cynthia is working out at the fitness center. When she returns she doesn't look so happy and says, "Dad, there is something leaking under the Newell". Well, that gets my attention and sure enough, there is a pool of reddish liquid under the coach on the passenger side behind the wheels. Oh No! I do not need major trouble so far from home. It sure looks like transmission fluid, but is not exactly under the transmission. Well by now, you know that I store my fluids in the same compartment you do. The narrow one right behind the tag axle seems perfect for that purpose. I had needed to remove a few quarts of transmission fluid after a shop had overfilled and couldn't bring myself to just throw them away, so I pumped the extra into a plastic container ( okay - a clean milk container - I know I am an idiot at times ) and it had just decided to split open in Vegas. I cleaned the whole mess up, even going to Home Depot to purchase concrete cleaner, and left the site looking like new. I feel better now that this is out in the open.
