Electric/water/sewage questions for an RV park

[Anonymous Poster]

Folks,
questions:
1. The electric to these RV/Campground Parks....how is it broke down from the pole and fed to each individual campsite,Is there like a substation set up.
2. The water,I have city water through the property,how about the taps,it could come off of the main header and be split up to the camp sites,how big of a line off of the main before it breaks down to the individual site? Would a regulator need placed at each campsite or one regulator off of the main ?
3. Sewage what type of sewage treatment would be needed to be installed an aereator?Or if it was a holding tank do the trailers/RV's gravity flow to a holding tank through a sewer line or does the RV's need to be driven or pulled to the holding tank? How big of a holding tank and how often do they need pumped (estimate)?

Thanks

From this and previous posts it seems that you are in need of info regarding building your own RV facility.

The ARVC (National Assn of RV Parks and Campgrounds) publishes a monthly newspaper that contained ads from several manufacturers etc, of campground stuff. I used to own a business that regularly advertised in it. They are probably your best bet for great info as they represent over 3700 campgrounds nationwide. Their web site is www.arvc.org

You can also try these places for additional info or you can simply enter Campground Owner into your favorite search engine and go from there.

Campsites can have different options for sewage. There can be a sewage connection at each campsite for which the campers will pay more, or a single dump station. The sewage gravity flows in these cases. Some campgroungs have a honey wagon that goes to each campsite and pumps out the RV tanks. If there isn't a connection at each campsite, the campers won't be able to take showers in their RVs without running the shower water onto the ground. (At least we can't)
