dump points at caravan parks


I've found that occasionally some caravan parks that have a dump point don't advertise (I use the term broadly) the fact so check with the park if a dump point is not listed.

You can download a list of public dump points by clicking on this link http://www.cmca.net.au/pages/motorhoming_information/public_dp_listing/index.php

(Edited to correct link error)

Try http://sanidumps.com.au       You have to enter Country at the menu bar top left and click on Australia.

 

It has a comprehensive listing Australia wide.Read the blurb because you could end up printing out nearly one hundred pages instead of the local ones just 2-4 pages.

 A case of NFIconfuse  It did work when I posted it as I copied it from the browser's address bar....(or I think it did)  but you're quite right it doesn't now (?)

Here's the correct link (I'll test it)...http://www.cmca.net.au/pages/motorhoming_information/public_dp_listing/index.php

You'll be able to download the lists on a state by state basis as PDF files that you can print (if required) for future reference

(edit)

Yep! tested it in both Explorer and Firefox, OK now

cheers

Jim

If you have a CAW book there is a list of dump points in the back

You can ask at the visitor centre too... some dump points might not be in the CAW.

This is the cause of people emptying cassettes down toilets, with stinky result. Really need to have dump points everywhere!

 If you are in a caravan park and there is no dump point, you can always do as others do, make a midnight flit to the dunny

We don't use chemical for a couple of reasons, one I am allergic to chemical the other if you use Nappy San in your cassette it is acceptable to dump into any toilet we dump into our septic at home and no problems, we have actually been asked what we use in the cassette before they allow us to dump, nappy san is fantastic & acceptable, no smell, total break down of solids and paper have been using this for a few years now, it also keeps the inside of the cassette clean as new, and best of all it's cheaper than chemical, a must to use Thetford paper as it breaks down quickly.

 Need to point out it is not Nappisan (this is a product name) that is used but the generic Nappy Soaker/Treatment....either Coles or Woolies are the preferred ones due to their higher sodium percarbonate content.

OK, are you saying that the Coles or Woolies brand is better? I get great results now with the Nappisan brand, I have heard that ppl buy black & gold and cheaper brands but understand it was only for the price!

Yes I think that most of the products on the market now are very similar, just different labels, not having an Aldi near us we have to shop at Coles thats the only supermarket we have within 20k, I will try the cheaper brands once we get on the road in a week or so, I have been told that it is in the oxygen content or whatever it is  that makes it work so well in portable toilets, if it cleans pooie nappies must be good for the toilet, I don't really care it does it for me and I don't have to smell that horrible chemical smell through my van not too mention the fact that it breaks everything down much better than chemical.

Great subject but I guess we all need it sometime smile

 This may have been the site (?) http://www.dreampod.net/poi/poi.html  It has several (possibly) useful gpx files.
