Doesn't proper etiquette require you to park way in the back if you want to dump your tanks while you're there....:h:h......:W......Dennis
I always try to dump my tanks on their landscaping. :B
I was thinking of installing one of those electronic valves on my coach...then I could dump while going down the turnpike.....especially if someone decided to tailgate the rig......:B...Dennis
Many years ago, when motorhomes were unusual, there was a system that could be installed that pumped the tanks out into the exhaust header pipe ahead of the muffler (catalytic converters hadn't been invented yet). You could empty the tank into the exhaust while driving down the road, and all that came out of the tail pipe was water vapor.
I wonder how hard it would be to build such a system, using a macerator pump and half inch ID hoses...
The original system was called a "Thermastan", and was featured in Popular Mechanics in the early 1970s.
