For those of you that tailgate in RVs for the LSU games, where do you get water prior and dump wastes after?

Travel centers for water and dump-stations. They used to be called truck stops.

A lot of rest areas have dump stations. Over here they are listed on the TXDOT website. Not sure about La or if they even have it.

A lot of Rest Areas have dump stations. Fill water up with a hose at your house. Use a water filter and drop in a sani tab. Hit up a rest area on the way home.

Some campgrounds will let you dump for free or for a small fee.

Put in a 4” clean out on your sewer line at the house. Never need a 3rd party solution again.

You could just get several gallons of water and pour it in the toilet after each use. I’ve seen that done at multiple RVs during game day. Only works if you don’t need to shower though.

Don't need to shower and have a huge black-water tank, don't use the bathroom that much, have a large fresh-water supply and/or don't stay very long.

If I got there Thurs and left Sunday morning and drank beer, I would have a full black tank and be out of water sometime Friday. If I came in on Friday I would be looking for a port-a-potty sometime Saturday.

Why wouldn't you just flush your toilet like normal? The water pump and toilet flush work off the coach batteries.

Or do like we’ve done for years. Since we’re drinking the majority of the beer, The guys try to use the nearest port-o-let and let the girls use the RV facilities. Even then, you use as little water during flushing as you can. When you dry camp, you have to be creative. Save that water for Navy showers.

Farr Park on River Rd.

I think this is the one my BIL uses.

If you have people in and out, keep the pump off for the men, turn it on for the ladies. Guys can pee in a hole, saves your black tank. Running out isn't the problem, filling up is though.

Not many rest areas have dump stations anymore.

Most legit truck stops have dump stations for a fee.

LSU would be smart to contract out someone to fill and dump for a fee.
