Be aware that occasionally you may see signs at a campground that RVs must be fully self contained. Your RV is no longer self contained.
Have never seen this at a campground.
It's not BS; there are a few campgrounds that require self-contained RVs only, usually meaning ones with full plumbing systems (a toilet that goes into a holding tank of some sort).
Here's one example: Silver Strand (California) State Beach Campground. You don't need a generator or propane, just a sanitary plumbing system. You'd probably want to have water available, of course.
Generally I think these restrictions are due to not having bathhouses/bathrooms, and many zoning/sanitation codes require that campgrounds without bathrooms of some sort be restricted to self-contained RVs only.
