National database of dump stations

[nonrev321]

Hello,

Just preparing to purchase our first Travel trailer, probably the new Grand Design 2670MK. BUT... I have been doing a lot of reading. There appear to be lots of free and/or cheap places to park your trailer but these free/cheap locations usually have no electric, water or Gray/black water dump stations.

No problem with the water and electric, these can be dealt with, but where to dump your gray and black water? Is there a national database of locations and/or places which allow you to dump the waste for a fee or otherwise?

How are others attacking this problem?

Thank you

They're tough to find since people have used them for diapers and motor oil.

I've been told that Mississippi interstate rest parks have dump stations, so if that's true maybe some other states also have dumps in their rest parks.

I'm more of a "help your neighbor out" type of guy.

If there was such a place to post free sites, I'd put my name on it.
I'd have absolutely no problem letting folks dump in my sanitary sewer cleanout behind my shop........wouldn't cost them a thing.

Most RV parks will let you dump for a small fee.

I checked that out. For my area of Southern MN it is close. They missed a couple but, nothing is perfect.

Around here you are always going to be fairly close to a gas station / convenience store. Asking at them will usually get you pointed in the right direction. Might try asking at the local bar too.

You can also do a search for dump stations near -- whatever city/state you are near and will get some results.

There are various directories on web sites, etc.

Most state parks with campgrounds and many private campgrounds will let non-campers dump for a fee. This fee can vary considerably, and sometimes it makes more sense to camp for a night than to just dump. (The Vermont state parks, for example, charge $30 per dump for an RV over 30', but the camping fee is between $18 and $22 per night depending on the site and whether you're a resident.)

Some municipalities have dump stations at their water treatment plants. Some RV dealers also have dump stations available. In a few states, there are dump stations at some highway rest areas.

With your tank capacities, I'd think two people could go a week before needing to dump without overly much conservation effort, and a good bit longer if you used paper plates etc. and didn't need to shower daily.

There's an app for the phone - SaniDumps (or something like that). It's be so-so for us.

Many times we just look for an RV park and pay them the dump fee.

Allstays on your iPhone. Cost $10 but it gets updated and has info on dump stations, campgrounds, fuel stops, what walmarts are camper friendly, rest areas and on and on. Very easy to use too.
