I knew something was wrong, I never made it to the exit.

Hey Wayne,

Back in July my diesel fuel tanks were empty in the truck and prices kept going up so we decided that we better fill it up....so we did at like $4.89 a gallon!!!

Good Lord !!!

So now both tanks are nice and full waiting for a camping trip perhaps in october...at $ 4.89.....160 gallons Please do not tell me the math...I can't hear you....la, la, la, la..............



Ok now back to your regular post!!!

You better hurry and take that trip, the price of fuel is coming down. You could offset some of your fuel cost by allowing us TC folks to dump in your holding tank/s. My bet is at $20 a pop, you could do quite well.

I was concerned that you had dumped your fuel tanks.


I have often wondered how many people had a Tote tank, to carry additional waste. Then, my next thought was where would you carry a full tank.

Ran across the same problem at a KOA in Oregon a couple of years back.
Unless you were staying in the campground, no non-guest dumping; period.
It would overload the system.
I could undersand that.

Hey, could 8 of you come over and dump at my house for $20? I have a nice dump station right off the slab where I park the camper.

I could turn around and fill my truck so I can go out this weekend

Just wondering if you put some biocide in those tanks you filled in July. That is a long time to sit in hot weather.

$20 is high. It should be less then $10.

We have a 96 Travel Hawk TC, it's our first and I've never had the nerve
to look at new ones in case......anyway, what's a newer TC holding tank
capacity, black water only?

We can dump into our septic tank at home, so if we're away any more than
3 days, we need the service.
