Although the Tin Poodle is comfy and cozy, storage space is at a premium.  We've done a pretty good job at utilizing space.  But sometimes you need a little more space temporarily.

Take laundry for instance.  After folding the laundry into a basket we might not have time to put it away immediately.  The shower has a fair amount of unused space.  We thought it would be a good idea to store the laundry basket in the shower when not in use.  Here's a picture of the shower.

So just before we leave for a hike Nancy puts the basket with her clean, folded clothes onto the bench and we take off.  After the hike I'm sitting at the table having lunch when I hear this dripping sound.  I look in the shower and I find that the laundry basket with clothes is partly filled with water and most of the folded clothes are wet!

Turns out when Nancy put the basket in the shower she slightly caught the shower control handle and turned it on.  Luckily other than wet clothes no harm done.  Although our grey water tank which was mostly empty was now almost 90% full.  Good thing it wasn't a really long hike.

Lesson learned.  Turn off the water supply or water pump when leaving the trailer for extended periods.
