RV Dump Stations – Environmential Friendly Materials
Posted by Family RV in RV Accessories, RV Camping on May 15, 2009
Before seeing this video I wasn’t aware of the issues surrounding RV dump stations. I never though much of it: My black water tank is full, and I don’t want to travel with the un-needed extra weight so it’s time to dump.
But because RV waste is so concentrated (less water, more waste) and the toxic chemicals involved, a dump station can be very harmful to the environment.

This will be easier on the environment and do the job needed to breakdown your waste material.
