Sanidumps Travel App

With all the travel apps out there, Sanidumps one is a must-have. There’s nothing more frustrating than pulling your fully-loaded RV into a dump station only to find out it’s closed and the next closest one is miles away. Not only are you aggravated, but you end up spending more money on fuel than you planned.

Some other negative effects of not being able to dump your holding tanks are:

• Extra weight can cause significant damage to your rig
• A full holding tank sloshing around for mile after mile takes its toll on:
  • braking
  • steering
  • transmission
  • alignment
  • and can cause blowouts or breakdowns

Recent statistics show that nearly two-thirds of RVs exceed one or more of their load ratings. In fact, excess weight is one of the top 10 leading cause of RV accidents.

If the above reasons weren’t enough to make you take notice, there is a dramatic increase in fuel consumption as well. Full fluid tanks can add 1,000 to 2,000 pounds to your rig’s GVW and while there are RV dump stations almost everywhere when you need one, they’re impossible to find. To understand all vehicle weight definitions, please go here  Loading Capacities

Sanidumps Dump Station Locator is a useful app that helps you locate places to dump your sanitation tank. The premium version allows you to save your 20 favorite dump stations, as well as receive turn-by-turn directions to your dumpsite. And your favorites are available offline, so even in spotty reception areas, you’ll have no trouble navigating to your dump station.

Wrap Up

The apps on this list will help make your next RV experience even more enjoyable.
