Not a job we want to do, but has to be done. I went to the web
first to find out where the closest place to dump was, I found Don's Camping List of Non-
Good list of Sani dumps all over BC,
and other links to all over North America.
This place was recomended in Ladysmith called "Wash me
on Ludlow",
Bosco and I went
for a walk there Sunday and got the low down before I went down with
the truck and trailer. I talked with the manager, and another trailer owner
that was dumping then. Looked easy enough, and had a good place to wash off the
top of the trailer.
I went down Monday with the truck, but left Bosco at home. If
you wash dumping is free. The dump station was on the outside of the building, with lots of clearance above and around it. I got the instruction on how the place worked from
the manager, she said change could be used, but if I ran out I could use my
credit card. You have to pay to put water in your tank to flush the black water
out, so not really free, but was not too bad for all I did was about $15. Dumping was easy, and took my time and did a good job of flushing it all out.
Now pull out and into the wash bay. There are stairs to an upper walkway for washing the top of the
trailer, this was much easier than getting up on the ladder, and safer too, as a railing for protection. The
sprayer was short, but I made it 1/2 way across the roof, so had to pull out
and turn around to do the other side. All in all a good place to clean up after
a trip.
All winter maintenance done, got the water system filled with anti-freeze the week before and ready for the cold to set
in. I put a heater with a fan inside, and am told I only need the fan, but will
leave the heat on as trailer is close to our home, so not a problem. I like it
dry and warm, never know when we may want to camp close to home!
Can hardly wait to pull it out again and use it. Spring will
come soon.
