RV dump station FAQ
What are the rules for using an RV dump station?
Use the sewer inlet, follow posted instructions, protect yourself, and leave the lane ready for the next traveler.
Short answer
The core rules are simple: use the designated sewer inlet, secure the hose, wear gloves, obey posted instructions, and dispose of RV waste only where the operator permits it. Keep the area clean, do not block other users longer than necessary, and confirm access and fees before opening a valve. Local regulations and facility rules always take priority.
What to keep in mind
- Never dump on the ground or into a storm drain, ditch, toilet, or waterway.
- Keep black- and gray-water equipment separate from drinking-water equipment.
- Close valves, cap the hose, rinse only at an approved point, and report leaks or damage to the operator.
Facility services, fees, access, and local disposal rules can change. Confirm the details with the operator or local authority before you travel.
