During our recent RV excursion to view the eclipse, we enjoyed the facilities of several campgrounds. We spent one night in Flagstaff on our way to Page, AZ. The campground was nice, but did not have a 30 amp electric hookup; it turned out to be a non-issue however, since Flagstaff weather did not require us to run the air conditioner which could overload the 15 amp service.

The campground at Page, AZ, where we viewed the annular eclipse, was also very nice; they had full hookups including 30 amp electric. We did use the AC at Page, which was considerably warmer than Flagstaff. We also briefly used the sewer hookup to dump the black and gray water tanks after three days of use.
On our way back, we stayed at the Cameron Trading Post RV park which had full hookups; we only used electricity there though. Cameron is less than an hour from Grand Canyon’s east entrance.
We did not learn that Coconino County regulations prohibit sewer hoses to be in direct contact with ground until we got to the final campground on our trip; the previous three were all in that county, but I did not maintain a sewer hookup. As I mentioned above, I only briefly hooked up to dump.
Verna and I agreed that we should get one of the sewer hose supports like the one in the image above. I ordered a 20 footer and a tandem wheel cover on-line from Camping World. Both items arrived yesterday.
In the future, we will use the hose support which is a neat little accordion-like gadget that comes in a reusable storage case. The wheel cover will be used right away to keep UV off of the wheels while the trailer is parked behind the house.
