Seasonal, No Sewer Hookup, What to Do With Black Tank

[Arn]

Thinking of going seasonal next year but a couple of the parks we're looking at don't have sewer connections nor is there a travelling honey wagon. What do you all do to get rid of the contents of your black tank?

we went seasonal this year and our number 1 requirement was full hookups,I done the tote tank thing many times(grey and black ) weekend camping but we now camp every weekend with our seasonal site and I would not wanna deal with the tote tank every weekend,If you plan on using the seasonal site a lot I would look at other campgrounds with full hookup or honeywagon service if your not gonna use it a lot then you could get by with a tote.

I knew a man that use to put sewer lines in for a living. Sometimes he had to connect into a existing line. He tells story's of going down into big sewer lines in a wet suit and watching tampons float by.

There is no Honey Wagon service around me but, there are a couple of Seasonal parks. Most people use there blue tote and rinse it out after dumping. No reason to freak out about it. You must be sanitary and careful but, the men running the Honey Wagon's do this for a living and there not dead so why will it kill you if your careful? After all it's your own poop. Even at your home somebody had to deal with it somewhere after you flush.

I put on large pneumatic tires from Harbor Freight just like the ones shown in this post by former TT Moderator Les Adams. I makes the tote tow much easier from trailer to truck and also makes it ride smoother and almost silent on the way to the dump station. Well worth the price (around $20) and the small amount of effort required.

I did the conversion for several folks on the picnic table in the campground,works great and much quieter . I don't understand folks having such a problem with using this procedure . If you are worried don rubber gloves,I never do but I grew up in farm country so a little thing like this is nothing to me! JMHO jb

Nice a poop tank on the picnic table..

You cant. Only Mods can do that. If the Mod for this forum doesn't notice in a short while, click the "notify Mod" link and ask him to delete them. If I had priviliges in this forum I wold do it but don't have them.

Thanks all. Nice to know people are using their blue boys for this. Seems everything else I read said not to. Having to haul a tote to the dump station will be worth the sacrifice once I get back to my chair & resume staring out at the ships going by on the St Lawrence River.

Isn't it great to watch thoise ships. We get up there every chance we get. Have you tried the "Marine Traffic" app? It will show you the position of all ships all over the world. It includes photos and all info on any vessel traveling the St. Lawrence. It's great to know when they're are going to pass by.

Thanks for the tip. I'll have to get it!

Do what everybody else there does.

Use the CG toilets? 😉

I don't know of any seasonal CGs that don't have sewer hookup or at least offer honey wagon service. The only time I've camped at a location that didn't have a dump station is at a NASCAR race. I would tow home the full black tank and dump into my sewer cleanout by the curb. It was not a fun experience.

I would not consider a seasonal that does not have sewers or, at least, a honey wagon. The contents of a black tank are nothing to mess with...
