Water for Trailers
02/15/10 at 12:07:01

Just wanted to see if there is a fresh water spigot to fill a trailer at the Fairgrounds. �Don't want a hookup situation, just a tap to hook a hose to and fill my toyhauler. �Or is there another location close to the Fairgrounds, ie, truckstop, RV park ect. �that will allow you to fill up on water? � Don't want to carry 100 gallons and all that weight from Northern UT. � Thanks, RB � � help me

Several of the gas stations right off the main road leading to Hurricane and to the fair grounds have dump stations and water spigots.

There is also one right near the restrooms on the south end of the parking lot where the dry camping will be. It is there for filling a horse watering trough but I was told by the grounds keepers it's city water so not worry. We also filled our tank one year from a faucet inside the restrooms under the sink. If your not there early you might need a bit of hose to reach but it can be done. I have a couple 100 foot garden hoses in the RV just for that Wink

I knew the answer would be found here on the forums. I will make sure I have a couple of extra long hose lengths in addition to the ones I already carry. Maybe someone else will need to use them too.

Okay people here is the latest update.
The Texaco off of Hurricane Exit 16 has a dump station and fresh water,
it is located on the other side of Arby's; toward the field.

The showers at Zion's Gate RV will not be available, unless you are
staying in their RV Park. Due to it being under new management and
under a Home Owners Association, you have to have a key card to
get into the rest rooms and they will not issue key cards to those not
staying in the Park.

Sorry, I know that hurts. But, I can't get them to change their minds.

Thanks

Since I'm ending up going alone this year I should be okay on water . If not , now I know I can dump and refill . I will definitely buy fuel at the Texaco because of their having this available . If things get too tough I know an old yahoo up the road with a shower ......

Hey, I like that steam cleaner idea! We could line everyone up and hose them all off at once! This might be more fun than the ATV Rodeo!

It might sound like a joke but when we went to the Mud Nationals in Texas thats just what they did. People were lining up and paying big bucks to get hosed down by a crew with a tanker truck and several pressure washers so they could then go get in line for the showers and pay even more $$$ Rolling on floor laughing

Last year it was so dusty, it would be nice to have a little moisture to hold the dust down. Ellis

Even with the snow there are still loads of trails to ride.

Hey Folks,

It's Sunday and it's raining. It looks like Wed thru Sat is going to be
great weather. One thing you won't have to worry about is dust.
What you will get how ever is a mixture of wet, mud and some snow.
Some of the trails will be effected by alot of snow, and they won't be
able to be ridden due to the moisture, snow and mud issue. But, we won't know for sure until Tues. night at our club meeting which trails will not be available. We will still have plenty of room for riding, if we have to double up on the available trails.

See you Wed!
Cindy B.
