Open Roads Forum  >  RV Lifestyle  > reason one would not want to hook up to sewer? Reply to Topic  |  Subscribe  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Page of 5   Next Klueck • View posts Georgia Senior Member Joined: 11/15/2008 View Profile Offline Posted: 10/05/09 05:45am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator We're camped here at Ochlockonee River State Park in the Florida panhandle. We got to talking to the camp host. He was telling us a story about a camp host he knew that refused to hook up his class A to a sewer. Another new host at this park chose a non sewer site over a sewer site. We thought that was odd. Does the guy think he'll get germs if he hooks up to a sewer? Of course he would have to dump his tanks eventually. Just wondering... By the way, if any of you are interested in seeing white squirrels, this is the place to do it. nelson • View posts Clio,Mi USA Senior Member Joined: 07/01/2002 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Offline Posted: 10/05/09 05:51am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator No reason I can think of to not hook up. Full hook up is just a dump station on your site. Your choice when you dump without moving. To each there own. 2002 Damon Challenger 348 Ford V10 Blue Ox Auto Stop and Aventa II Tow Bar 2001 Ford Sport Trac with Remco Driveshaft Disconnect just_dave • View posts Bay City, MI Senior Member Joined: 04/18/2003 View Profile Offline Posted: 10/05/09 06:18am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Oh, I'm sure there's enough quirky people that can come up with a number of reasons to not hook up. Like, what would happen if someone dumped gasoline down their serwer and then flushed a lit cigarette, your rig could explode if connected. 2001 2500HD 6.0L 4.10 4x4 1999 Jayco Eagle 285BHS 5er Thank you Lord!

The owner that refused or claims he refused probably meant that he would not connect and leave his tank open due to the possable smell issues. We know that this is of course not the correct way to use this but some think it is.

Personally, I think both are there to use. However, if we're just going to overnight and tanks don't need emptying, I don't connect to sewer.

They have never used the washroom ever. They always use the CG facilities. Wow!

Then they unhook until the next time. Heck, I hook up when I get there and unhook right before I leave. The less times I handle that stuff, the happier I am.
