where do you fill up your RVs with water? Is it at the campsites etc you stay at? Is it included in the price of staying there? And also, what do you do about emptying your toilet/sewage etc? Is it at the campsite again?
I agree with Tom - it's not stupid if you don't know the answer. And, in this case, it's a pretty important thing to know! We fill with water at many places, starting at home before our trip. Many campsites have hookups, some are called full hookups with water, electric, sewer, and maybe cable TV. Others are partial, perhaps with water and electric or only water or only electric. The full hookups generally are commercial campgrounds and, yes, you pay according to what you use, whether it's for full hookups or a longer pull-through site instead of a backin. Public campgrounds sometimes have only electric. In that case, they will have a separate dump station where you can both dump and fill with fresh water and the two parts are slightly separated to keep the fresh water safe. Many commercial campgrounds also have a dump station. They're usually free if you're one of their customers but may charge a few dollars if you're not. If you get a copy of the
Trailer Life Campground Directory it will tell you what facilities each campground has so you can plan accordingly. If you make a campground reservation you will need to tell them what kind of site you want, and it probably will be priced accordingly.
A related thing is running your generator if you don't have an electric site. You usually cannot use a generator in a commercial campground because they have sites with hookups. On the other hand, many public campgrounds (national and state parks for example) have no hookups so you may need to run your generator there. Some have separate generator and non-generator sections so those who don't want to be bothered with the noise and/or fumes of generators can avoid them.
In other words, every campground is different and some have a mix of types of campsites.
