First off: WELCOME TO THE FORUM.!! :) :)
Not sure where you are in Los Angeles as it's a pretty big place...so let us know exactly where you're parked. That said, I'd stay away from places like Disney as most folks will either be tired or broke from visiting the Magic Kingdom and most likely will only be interested in relaxing. There are a couple closer to LA such as Dockweiler in Playa del Rey or Golden Shore in Long Beach. These will have hookups to empty your tanks and play with all your "stuff". While at one of these parks, strike up a conversation with one of your neighbors. Generally we're a socialble bunch and will only be too happy to help. One of the camphosts at one of these parks will also give you tons of advice. Another source would be a salesman at one of the RV lots, even Camping World. Understand you might have to pay a nominal fee to them to give you a PDI walkthru. No matter which route you go, be sure to video tape the entire event as you'll wonder what was said because your brain will be on overload. As for simple dump stations, some rest areas have them but none in the LA proper due to vandalism and cost. Most truck stops will have them. Expect to pay from $10-15 to dump. Finally, if none of this works for you, make a list of each appliance you need help with-Make/Model number and ask for assistance individually. Most of your appliances are not RV model specific and may have been used across several years. Best of luck...Dennis
