RV_ Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 My last one had the lever. I propped it open with a plastic floss dispenser. An empty dispenser we used over and over.

richfaa Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 We are on full hookup s 98% of the time so flushing and cleaning is not a issue. When at our Florida residence we dump and flush every 3 or 4 days it takes maybe 1/2 hour out of our busy retirement day. We never travel with any tank near full. When on the road we dump and flush at every layover. When at rallies usually at fairgrounds we go into water conversation mode and take advantage of the honey wagon.

We have probably dry camped more than some campers have camped. These fancy 5th wheels have all the comforts and we use every one of them. I mean we started out in a two person tent and backpack.

After tenting we did a lot of camping with a pop-up and with 2 Eagle Scout sons and me one of the leaders, we did a bunch with them also. Our family even took 1 trip of two weeks into the Bob Marshall Wilderness on horseback. But our list tenting trip was about 30 years ago and we have not dry camped for more than 2 consecutive nights in the past 15 years. Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

We started out with 2 1/2 people (one 3-year old) so we had a 4-man tent and 3 backpacks. And a bear that visited our campsite! With us about a mile through the woods from our car! That was an exciting weekend! I sure did appreciate our motorhomes after that.

Linda Sand So , I take it that you do not make friends with the bear ? LOL We also started out tenting , until a near miss of a tornado . Then it was rented cabins and cottages , until we bought our Monaco . Couldn't see wasting any time with all that in between stuff . Goes around , comes around .

richfaa Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Our only dry camping in a large RV has been at Quartzsite if you can call that dry camping generator everything functional in the RV and honey wagon if needed. We did dry camping in our smaller TT's and popups in Allegheny national forest but we had a generator and water from a pump was available .

We used to be floor flushers, but now we are now hand flushers! It was a bit of a transition to make the change. It was at least a week of stepping on the floor and then remembering I needed to pull the handle to flush.
