After several decades of environmental education, the younger generation has no more respect for our planet than us poor old folks. I don't get it.

After a short period of working out the bugs, the RV-Sanicon system I use is awesome, never come in contact with that mess again.

Warpath, what is that system you refer too and where can I learn more about it?

Here is a link to the product review I did on it. http://irv2.infopop.cc/eve/forums?q=Y&a=tpc&s=8076099152&f=7486073452&m=9136096333&p=1

Since I did the initial install, I changed the way I had it setup, basically lowered the pump down on the floor of the storage bin. I also had to drill into the family that only toilet paper gets put down the toilet. The pump got clogged once with a baby wipe which had plastic in it, and the other time a rubber band. After those fun cleanout episodes, it has been perfect and I would never do it any other way. Really slick!

I have to respectfully disagree with Ken. I think young people today are much more aware of their environment. Change is always slow but I do see it happening. One example would be that you can buy hybred cars now. Here in Vermont there is by requirement a great deal of recycling. That doesn't change the fact that there are jerks now and there have always been inconsiderate jerks in the world.
Maybe some of the people who are dumping on the ground just have not been taught how to dump the tanks. That's not something they tell you at the rv store. Not everyone is clever or smart enough to figure it out on their own. Communicating the right way to those that are dumping in this manner might be helpful to everyone.

dump stations---well "men" do the same thing in restrooms---just what's so hard about flushing the toilet there either
I wAS RAISED TO ALWAYS FLUSH AND WASH MY HANDS
just WHO or WHAT raised these people-they probably are pigs any way.people who have made and saved enough money to buy a nice rig-are not ignorant--they just think -"big deal" someone else will clean it up-I once jumped right in on someone-all i got was nasty words-and "he" didn't care-so i see money "can't" buy common since-.
my 2 cents-

Warpath, I hate to act stupid but what is an RV-Sanicon system? Did this come with your rig or was it an add on. My husband hates the handling of the hoses as well. Thanks, Linda

Sorry to take so long to reply back...

Both 5th wheels were "nice" but not new and looked as if the owners were familiar with camping and how to operate them. Both were older couples (older than my 42), with the first ones being in their 60s-70s and the second in their 50s.

I did stop and ask the attendant at the gate about it and he seemed somewhat hot. He knew the first couple and said he would call them and and would stop the couple behind me "for questioning".

I guess I'll keep my rubber boots ready for my next trip to the dump station!

Fortunately I am able to ask my father-in-law anything about RV'ing. He has been towing for better than 30 years. I am one of the new generation of RV'ers, but I can tell you that I got into this after exhaustive research. I am concerned about the enviroment, and leaving the CG site better than we found it. I don't want to step in your ****, so I won't leave a mess at the dump pad when I am done. Use common sense, would you **** on the floor at home, NO, so why would you **** on the dump pad. People need to learn to respect each other, then, and only then, will things change in our society.

Later, Mark

I dont like to dump, just like everyone else in that matter. But, it has to be done and I have my way of doing it. I buy latex doctors gloves and use a pair with each dump then I throw the pair away. I do not leave a mess for someone else to clean up. Its working for me. george
