Ok, I posed the question in another thread whether a porta-a-potty was considered self-contained. Obviously the definition of self contained constitutes a grey and black holding tank and fresh water tanks. I feel rather self contained if I can potty in my trailer without emptying sewer on the ground and can collect my gray water for proper disposal. If I can camp on the side of the road and not pollute the environment, I call that self-contained.
Here's my dilemma. Shasta Compacts were not designed to be self-contained. There are two future events, a NASCAR race and a music festival with camping which I would like to attend with my trailer. I believe there is an area for trailers which are not self contained at the NASCAR race with the tent campers, as well as a self-contained only area. There are no hook ups whatsoever, basically a parking lot and it specifically states that portable tanks are not allowed.
However, the other venue has electric sites with no sewer (in a pasture
but does state that RV sites are for self contained RV's. Now this venue has car camping, tent camping and woods camping. There are facilities. I believe the issue is with not having gray water and sewer emptying or spilling on the ground.
Has anyone found a way to compensate for this? Is it possible to install the portable gray tanks in a semi-permanent way? I was thinking about strapping them under the under the trailer for when it is parked and removing them when it is in motion. As far the potty, uh, they don't need to know my potty business. The NASCAR venue has "inspectors."
Just wondering if anyone else has dealt with this plumbing/camping issue.
