Why don't they ?

Have more dump stations that are inclined down 4-5 degrees from the curb side down to the drivers side? seems like you get a faster and more complete "Evacuation" with this setup. In all my years I've only seen one configured like this at Highlands Hammock SP near Sarasota. I've seen coaches with levelers jack up the curb side to dump but that's not possible for us TT and 5th Wheel Peeps.

It just makes sense to me.





I know, 1st world problems.

    I regularly tilt my TT with one level block at dump stations. But on the last dump of a trip I really raise one side up. Works. The fight here in CA is not to improve DSs but to keep them open.
  • The ones the bug me are the ones where the sewer connection is uphill from even a raised RV. Last one like this was Colter Bay SP in the Tetons.
  • My black tank drain pipe connection is on the passengers side of the tank, the drain pipe then drops down under the tank and crosses back to the drivers side where the gray T's into it. If my trailer isnt level side to side, or at least a little low on passengers it wont empty fully.

    Realitly is with the built in sprinkler cleaner its not a issue though as I fill it with fresh twice and it runs clear.
  • Pull the levers, dump the sh**, move on. Don't need an angled road.
    5 minutes max and gone.
    Solving a problem that does not exist.
  • Probably for the same reason that we have other what ifs. They are not designed and built by those that actually use them.
