Full hook-up with a pop-up?

Are there pop-ups out there with full sewer hook-ups? We were told at a recent rv camp show that pop-ups with toilets are only cassette pottys and cannot hook into the sewer. I saw a Fleetwood Niagra that was advertised as a full hook-up. Thank you for your input!

  • The biggest pain on our old 625D was the dual drains on opposing sides. You had to finagle hoses and rig them properly to drain while rolling around underneath a slideout. Royal PITA!
  • Our PUP has the cassette toilet, but we use the full hookup sites for grey water drainage (which is usually more than the black water). With a short hose and a few minutes, we can disconnect the sink drain and dump the cassette tank down the same hole in the ground. I like the convenience of the cassette. It allows easy transport to bathrooms at sites that do not have full hookups, so it is win-win regardless of the location.
  • For a few years now some manufacturers are building the larger pups with black tanks.
  • A friend of our has a popup that has a full shower and a toilet. They use full hookup sites. She says that the shower produces too much humidity, so they normally don't use it, but they do use their potty.

    I do not remember the brand, but it is a high wall popup.
  • My Flagstaff high wall model has a 12 gal black water tank. The toilet is permantly mounted. Where it goes for "storage" before dumping....don't really care to know, but I suspect that the holding tank is directly beneath the toilet.

    It has its own separate dump valve so to me and I can use full hook up sites.

    Hope this helps
  • I have read where a few owners modified theirs so they can use full hook ups. I'm sure some manufacturer has a pop up that does the same.
  • I thought that there were two kinds, one was a totally removable unit that you detach top from bottom and manually dump. the other has a removable cassette that slides out from under the permanently mounted upper part. doing a google search the Fleetwood Niagra seems to be the latter type? but I doubt an actual black tank, other than the removable one.

  • I just dumped my cassette potty into a dump station and it works great...easy easy and cleans up nicely with hose that was there. Would that work with a sewer hookup...just pour it in?
  • I do not know of any that do. Fleetwood/coleman has been dead for years. Somerset campers, have not seen one in the wild. New jayco/starcraft not sure. New forest river yes, on the highwall models only. 26 fresh, 12 gray, 12 black. That will need a 25 gallon do it all tote tank.
