excellent. The circuit breaker is one of my winterizing steps. Switch the breaker off (though with the electric element switch in the tank access panel) you are less likely to switch it on when there is no water in the tank.

If drainage is good what does soapy water on the ground hurt. Of course if there were five a day I get it. No food in it. Tent Campers wash dishes outside and dump the water

Because people do it doesn't mean it's legal. If it's not black water, it's usually considered grey water and isn't to be dumped on the ground.

When we had our popup we usually stayed beside the inlaws with full hookup so we would just take our dishwater and dump it down the sewer hole on our site. I'm pretty sure every CG I've ever stayed in forbade you to throw out grey water on the ground.

Taking showers in the Roo

Sure would be nice if that stopper came all the way out. I think I stepped on it and shut it the other night and had a slight overflow:-)
Update: My Bad. DW took it out all should be well next time:-D

Shower Curtain

You don't have to deal with the shower curtain against your body while showering. An aftermarket fold-out shower curtain rod for RVs works great. It provides about 6 inches or so of separation in the shoulder area where you need it most. When you're done showering it folds back into the shower stall to drain and it provides more freedom of movement in the bathroom. I've been using one for a couple of years now. I can attest to its benefits. Unfortunately however, I couldn't find one short enough to fit my Roo's shower, so I had to shorten the one I bought. It's not difficult, but it takes an hour or two to do it right. If it's too long you can't fold it in or out.

Not so hot for corner showers.

I agree. After my DW bought one, I had to prove why it did't work.
