How far from home do you have to go to dump your tanks or can you dump them at home?

I can dump at home, but I generally dump as soon as Iโ€™m done camping. I donโ€™t see the reason to bring it home. I had the connection added because it was easy to do since the pipe to the septic system was being replaced.

We pay a small extra fee on our tabs to keep dump stations open at our rest stops so dumping is easy.
Otherwise I can dump the grey at home (legally).

As for the donut, I usually eat a sammich while dumping.
I never drop food.

I've got friends up north that are in about the same boat but don't have to drive quite so far.

yes there is. I helped my buddy Corey solve that one. Macerator pump at the TC grinds up and using a 100' garden hose pumps the effluent to the clean out on the other side of the house from his driveway. I think it was $50 from camping world

Dump at home. I Extended the sewer cleanout many years ago to be close to the curb so it's easy.

I can dump at our local Waste Water Treatment Plant, it's about a mile away.
The nearest dump station at a CG is about 20 miles away.


Years ago I dumped at the same kind of place and it was only a couple of miles from home.

One of my friends build in a dump station when he build his new house a few years back.

I get to dump at home too.

There is a free dump at a gas station in town about 3 miles from home. Since I always fill up on the way home, it is very convenient.

Dump at home in septic tank. Put a plastic manhole over clean out cover. Works great for final flushing of tank at end of season
