Bad sewer disposal placement

From Rob Cabana: It bothers me when a campground places the sewer hookup next to or near the neighboring campsites eating area. While camping in Montana at a KOA (a very prestigious one) my sewer hookup was within feet of our neighbors concrete patio. When getting ready to pull out in the morning I felt compelled to wait until my neighbors finished their breakfast before I began the unhooking ritual. I didn't want to ruin the smell of bacon with sewer gasses. Campground owners should think about what goes on at their sites and even if it just a bush to disguise the hookup it would help. Editor's note: Thanks on behalf of all those whose bacon still tasted good because of your kindness.

Have you seen something "not quite right" at at RV park or campground?" If so, email a photo and your comments to Chuck(at)RVtravel.com.

This is one of my pet peeves with some who don't have proper connections for sewer hookups. I've seen some pretty sloppy hookups and connections and even seen raw sewage spilled on the ground by inconsiderate campers.

foresightful design is depressingly unusual. As an example of what TO do, I might point out a park like the fabulous Sams Town RV Resort in Las Vegas, where the lots alternate drive in/back in such that the sewage/utilities cluster on the driver side of the RVs, and the people sides are brought together.

unfortunatly many of todays campers don't want to be bothered by or meet other campers. So the alternate site mentioned above are just a different complaint waiting to happen.

unfortunatly many of todays campers are not interested in meeting, let alone looking or talking other campers, so the ulternating sites is just another complaint waiting to happen.

Another Peeve is those parks that think sewage runs uphill. Inlet is a foot above ground.
