Home, Sacramento is only 800 miles away. I could put everyone and the dog in the Prius and if I push it I can out run the cops chasing me for abandoning a (Mod Edit) rig in AZ. This was trip two. 1st one had its ups and downs

too.

All I wanted to do was stand on a corner in Winslow AZ and have my wife drive bye in the Prius...

Get it to a big town with Servicemaster franchisee. Call ahead make an appointment, have them ready for your arrival.

Google is your best friend at this point.

Let the wife and kids follow in the Prius.

This is what I turn off the pump any time i'm leaving the coach. Just one small leak and in a matter of a few hrs the fresh tank will be pumped somewhere else.

Had this happen about 18 years ago on an instrumentation van at work. Luckily, no #2 in the tank, just a gallon or so of #1, diluted to the point where it didn't matter. When we got back to the coach it had just topped the commode and put maybe 10 gallons on the floor.

Problem was, we were sitting on top of a gravel pad with a 8" square curb drop-off back to the road. Trying to get the coach off (and out to a dump facility) would have shot water to the ceiling.

We took an adapter from the dump outlet to a garden hose and ran it to a gully about 100 ft away. The coach was pretty new, I don't think anyone had ever taken a dump in it.

Same reason I do not hook up to local water supply. The running pump makes enough noise to get my attention. BTDT. Thankfully bowl overflow was basically clean water.
