    $500 a month strata fee....

    Well said! Very well said!! But...to be fair...The person paying $500.00 a month strata fees must have been aware that the fees were this high at the time of purchase.

    Black water tank won't dump

    This will (and did) happen when an RV is stored prior to winterising or when free falling. Free falling is when an RV is hooked up to a sewer line with the sewer gate open.
