Curbside for waste dump?

[bryanhes]

These might be novice questions but I want to make sure my interior placement is going to work with the rest of the house systems.

From what I have seen curbside is the standard for waste dump?

I would guess you would use the opposite for water filling water tank?

Thanks,
Bryan

Wrong

Everything drivers side rear

I thought for sure it was on the curbside. I guess maybe its different on the bus when its original? Because mine and the other unconverted I have seen the lavatory is on the rear curbside.

Bryan , The standard that I have seen is street side or Driver side in front of the drive tires or in my case boggie wheel

Then its a good thing I had moved my toilet back to the drivers side last night 


Thanks Guy's

Bryan ,   Iam no expert , But  I would put my crapper in close proximity to my black water tank , or what ever tank I was useing.

Andy,

I was planning to place the waste tank pretty much right below the toilet. I also think I am going to move my kitchen sink to the same side so the drain from it will be on the same side as well. I would think keeping most of the plumbing on the same side might be less trouble, maybe?

I think someone will chime in and say that driver's side is code.  Most campgrounds are set up that way, HOWEVER, I have been to about a dozen campgrounds (I know that's not many) and have seen 2 that were set up for dumping on the curb side.  If you have the space, dumps on each side would be a nice luxury.  FWIW.

  sounds like a plan Bryan  good luck

I used tanks that are the width of the bay and have fittings on both sides.

Gives you the flexibility to just get it done, regardless of dump station layout or limited approaches.

Many of the places to dump are filled with nincompoops that make turning around to access the other side a real pain.

And I'm not afraid to back up.

If reversing your coach is not your strong suit, definitely design for ambidexterity.

happy coaching!

Or you simply drop your drain down the middle, that way it is right between both of them . Every time you go to dump, you have an instant pretrip inspection, because you are on da ground hooking up...lol.

On a more serious note...we have out dumps on the driver side. So far so good (but we haven't dumped very often, we go about two weeks between dumps...nice). If you think you might have a dump problem, try getting a macerator (sp?). I have heard that they are very slow, but they do work if you need to dump through a garden hose.

God bless,

John

BW,

That was my thought to be able to dump from either side. I have no problem backing either but I have been to a campsite already that was not the most convenient to access the waste station. Why not make it easy 

Thanks,

I put my dump on the curb side knowing it is not standard.  The way I have it set up I could dump on the driver's side as my hose is pretty long.  I have never stayed in a campground so it really hasn't an issue.

I couldn't put the bathroom on the driver's side because of the screwy luggage compartment layout in a Dina.  I would only do curb side if there is no other possible way to get things to work.

Mine was curbside when I got it and it was a real pain.

I changed it to both sides and have been glad ever since.

I also have a portable pump which can dump through a garden hose just in case.
