yes. you hang out on the street until the pumper goes by, flag them down and lead them to your rig (make sure to leave access), and pay them(!!)- last I heard, it was 75-100 dollars. This is NOT reliable, and it eats up a lot of your time. A better way to go, IMHO, is to ration water use (turn off the pump when not needed), and don't use the shower or toilet - except in emergency. A stinky RV is a bad neighbor!!

yes, there is........IIRC, you have to find the "pumper" guys and flag them down and pay them to do it........

I"m sure someone else knows the details better.......

good luck

The RV pumping guys are not that hard to flag down.

Yes, this is technically true...not hard to flag down.

But, whether they'll help you is another matter entirely. Many of them are under orders (or it appears to be) to NOT do any commerce/on the spot sales. So while they'll stop and chat with you, they'll say "Sorry, I can't do that...I have to go and pump out X...."

And this was even with an offer of $125 to do it.

Tried twice in one day. Same result.

So, moral of it all is do NOT count on this happening at all. Make other plans and if it does happen, then all the better.

Bummer you got shafted.

For the past four years I got service with no hassle. In 07 I tipped the guy a 20 and some chill PBR and he gave me a United Service BM 2007 tshirt.

You must have been camping in a bad neighborhood.

I think they charge the same thing to pump BOTH your black water and grey water tanks at the same time. Be sure to turn off your water pump so that when you flush, your precious fresh water isn't going down the hole.

same deal here, not with my RV, but with other people in our camp that were less effecient.

flagged them down, gave them money(and a tip), easy peasy.

Be sure to say please and threat them like the gods that they are.

unjonharley usually stays over around the 9:00-ish end of town, a few streets back from the Esplanade. You can take all your greywater to him. I don't know what he does with it but he likes to have as much as he can get.
