Dumping tanks uphill

[Townesw]

Here’s a trick to dump your tanks when the sewer hookup is uphill from your bumper. 

Here I used (2) 1”x2”x8 ft from an Ace Hardware store on the Keweenaw Peninsula 

Houghton MI

 

Door County WI

 

This time I picked up (2) pieces of 1/2”x10 ft EMT conduit from HD in Ellsworth ME. I like the conduit better than the 1x2 wood. The sewer hose supports slide better on the conduit and when I get home I’ll cut each conduit in half and turn a steel rod to just fit inside the conduit to make a splice for the halves. I thought I could stick the whole 10ft length into the Oliver aluminum rectangle frame rail but bolts through the rail prevent my doing this.

It is so nice when campgrounds are this well thought out 😉

The best I had was a state park in Vermont.  On top of being very poorly maintained the one way road was counterclockwise and the angle of the back-in spots were setup for the road to run clockwise.  And, it had lots of trees to navigate as you backed in.  Thanks to one of Vermont's Green Mountain Boys for an assist.

As is the south loop of Kalaloch CG in Olympic National Park ...where some bright summer crew member sent to repaint arrows, made a mistake.
People have just had to live with the result for multiple years as the same intern also changed the maps to match the mistaken arrows.  (Heard all that from a Ranger.)
