In the past year, we’ve seen a shift in the way many people are vacationing, with demand moving from plane trips and hotels to motor homes and recreational vehicles (RVs). The increased interest in RV parks and campgrounds presents new challenges to property owners, especially regarding wastewater treatment.

Property owners must make a significant investment in this infrastructure, which includes a properly sized septic tank for RV park use, to handle the unique demands of their guests.
