Where / How to Dump?
I live 1 mile from a State Park and for years I had the luxury of simply pulling into the park and dumping my gray/black tanks as needed. When I drove a Motorhome this was awesome because we could us...

My TT parks in the drive way and the location is too far to hook into my septic system. We use our camper at home all the time, including the bathroom. I had to come up with a relatively easy way to dump the tanks. We always dump when leaving campgrounds, but at home, we need to do also.
We are on a septic system, and a few years ago we had installed an access port for pumping the tanks so we wouldn't have to dig it up any more. In a short time, I realized that pipe with the removable cap was a perfect way to dump the trailer, except the pipe was higher than the ground. So, I built a ramp, and use my little John Deere 135 to pull the tote over the grass. Works absolutely great!
The good thing is, nothing is permanent. It's just a bunch of 2x4's and 2x6's ramped up on cinder blocks with some shorter concrete blocks mid way for extra support in the middle. Everything can be completely removed in 5 minutes if need be.
