Dumping on Saturday will be easy. Just find a full hookup site that has been vacated and there should be plenty.

Also we were weighed last year & the company was very good & efficient. They scheduled times so that you are not waiting in line long.

Ok just saw on the schedule to use the full hookup sites to dump. That will be me. So what about the RV weighing and checkout times???? Did not see a time listed. Just trying to figure out what time to leave and when we will get home. If I wait till about 5:00 to leave we can be home before dark and the hangover might be gone!!!!

I made a decision.

I'm going to wait till late Saturday night when everyone is gone, go set up on a Full Hookup Site, and stay there till next year.

Youroo, I was going to sing and dance, but by popular demand, I will not. There was a vote and everything. Didn't you watch the convention?

Also on the weighing...You will need to provide all of the weight limit specs on your TV and trailer when you signup at their booth. (Axles, Gross vehicle, etc)

If you are trying to get out early, I'd sign up for an earlier time with the weighing people. Looks like you can do that starting at 9:00 on Monday. I think leave at 5:00 would be ok too. We left ~3:30 last year and there were still plenty of people there. This year we're staying till Sunday.

You won't need to pump out on Saturday. There are 4 or 5 "official" dump stations
but there are about 200 FHU sites with sewers. If you DON'T happen to be in one of them, by the time you are ready to leave, I can almost assure you that some of the folks who have FHU sites will have left. Just pull into one of them, dump, and be on your way.

As far as how long the wait will be to get weighed, it really depends on how many people want to pay to weigh, but if I recall, the wait was not to terribly long last year. Maybe an hour plus or minus.

Turbs have you even christened that head of yours yet. After all the years you had that Saber, it still had the sanitary tape across the seat...

Remember that there will be lots of people leaving at different times. Scope out a empty full hook up site and dump there. The line at the dump station is long.
