Mobile RV Pump-Out Service: Our Septic Trucks Come to You

Can’t get your RV to a dump station? We bring the dump station to you.

Look, I’ve been driving septic pump trucks around the Treasure Valley for years, and here’s what I’ve learned: RVs don’t always cooperate with your plans. Dead battery? Expired registration? Stuck in the backyard behind a fence that’s six inches too narrow? That 38-foot Class A that hasn’t moved in two years because you keep saying “I’ll get to it next weekend”?

That’s where we come in. At Qube Septic, we pump residential septic tanks all day long—but our trucks can also empty RV holding tanks, boat waste systems, portable toilets, whatever you’ve got. We’ve pumped fifth wheels at storage lots off Franklin Road, motorhomes in driveways in Eagle, even a yacht someone was working on in their garage (don’t ask). If it holds wastewater and you can’t get it to a dump station, we’ll come to you.

Why Use Mobile RV Pump-Out Service?

Perfect For:

🏠 Homebound RVs & Campers

• RV stored at home without septic cleanout access
• Motorhome that can’t be driven (mechanical issues, expired tags)
• RV parked in tight space where dump hose won’t reach
• Winterized RV that needs one-time emergency pump

🚢 Boats & Marine Craft

• Boats in driveways or storage lots
• Yachts with marine sanitation devices (MSDs)
• Houseboats on trailers
• Jet skis with waste systems

🏗️ Construction & Events

• Portable job-site toilets
• Event porta-potties
• Construction trailer waste tanks
• Off-grid cabin waste systems

⚠️ Problem Situations

• RV holding tank valve stuck/broken (can’t dump normally)
• Full black tank with no dump access within 50 miles
• Emergency pump-out for broken RV toilet system
• Grey tank backup from frozen hose or clogged drain

Need more than just pumping? If your RV has sensor issues, slow draining, or persistent odors, you might need our industrial struvite cleaning service instead of routine pump-out.

These videos demonstrate different equipment setups, RV types, and service locations—showing the versatility of our mobile pump-out service.

1. Schedule Service

Call (208) 656-5355 or schedule online:

• Tell us RV type/size (helps estimate time)
• Confirm your location (address and access details)
• Pick appointment window (usually 2-hour window)

2. We Arrive With Professional Equipment

Our pump truck arrives with:

• Industrial vacuum pump (handles solids and liquids)
• 100+ feet of hose (reaches RVs in backyards, storage lots)
• Adapters for all RV connections (2”, 3”, 4” fittings)
• Protective equipment (gloves, boot covers, cleanup supplies)
• Licensed disposal (proper wastewater treatment facility)

3. We Connect & Pump

• Locate your RV’s dump valves (usually passenger side, sometimes in a weird basement compartment)
• Connect appropriate adapter to tank outlets (we’ve got fittings for every RV made since 1975)
• Open black water valve and vacuum tank completely (our suction will empty a 50-gallon tank in under 3 minutes)
• Open grey water valve and vacuum tank
• Rinse hoses and connection points
• Confirm tanks are fully empty

4. We Clean Up & Leave

• Disconnect hoses carefully (no mess left behind—your driveway stays clean)
• Close all valves securely (we test them before we leave)
• Clean any spills or drips immediately
• Properly dispose of waste at licensed facility (City of Nampa wastewater treatment—all legal and above board)
• Provide receipt and service record

Total time: Usually 20-30 minutes from arrival to departure.

I remember one job in Caldwell—guy had a 42-foot diesel pusher that hadn’t moved in three years. Registration expired, mechanical issues, whole nine yards. But the black tank was full and he was trying to sell it. We showed up, pulled 100 feet of hose around the side of his house, pumped both tanks, and he had a buyer the following week. Sometimes you just need someone who’ll show up with a big truck and handle the mess.

When Mobile Pump-Out Makes Sense

✅ WORTH IT If:

• RV hasn’t moved in months/years (storage, mechanical issues)
• You’re elderly or disabled (can’t handle dump hoses)
• You have multiple RVs at home property
• Emergency situation (broken valve, overfull tank, frozen system)
• Boat in driveway with full holding tank
• You value convenience over cost savings
• One-time need (winterizing, selling RV)

❌ PROBABLY NOT WORTH IT If:

• RV is drivable and dump station is nearby
• You dump frequently (weekly+) - install home dump station instead
• You’re comfortable DIY dumping at home septic
• Budget is very tight

Bottom Line: Mobile pump-out costs 8-12x more than a dump station, but provides total convenience when you can’t or don’t want to move your RV.

Special Services We Offer

1. Winterization Assistance

When winterizing your RV for Idaho winter:

• We pump tanks completely dry (better than gravity drain)
• You add antifreeze after we pump
• Ensures no residual water to freeze and crack tanks
• Cost: Standard pump-out rate

Winterizing your home too? Don’t forget about your residential septic pumping schedule—book both services together for efficient same-day service!

2. Stuck Valve Solutions

RV dump valves fail. When yours won’t open:

• We can sometimes pump through vent pipe (if accessible)
• Our vacuum power can overcome partial blockages
• We provide feedback on valve condition
• Cost: Standard rate + $25 if extra work needed

3. Grey Water Only Service

Some RVers only need grey tank pumped:

• Same equipment, less risk, faster service
• Common when grey fills faster than black
• Cost: Usually 20% less than full service

4. Tank Inspection During Pump

While we’re pumping, we can:

• Inspect tank valves for wear/damage
• Check hose connections for cracks
• Report on tank condition (cracks, leaks, corrosion)
• Recommend repairs if needed
• Cost: Included free with pump-out

5. RV Park / Storage Lot Service

We service RV parks and storage facilities:

• Multiple RVs pumped in one visit
• Scheduled monthly/quarterly service
• Volume discounts available
• Proper documentation for property records
• Call for commercial rates

Equipment Details: Why Our Trucks Work Better

Professional Vacuum Trucks vs. Portable Pumps:

Our Industrial System:

• ✅ 3000+ CFM vacuum power (empties 50-gallon tank in 2-3 minutes—watch it go)
• ✅ 500-gallon capacity (can service multiple RVs per trip without heading to the dump)
• ✅ 100+ foot hose reach (I’ve reached RVs parked behind shops, past chain-link fences, you name it)
• ✅ Handles solids (toilet paper, waste, debris—our vacuum doesn’t care, never clogs)
• ✅ Licensed disposal (proper wastewater treatment facility, fully documented)
• ✅ Professional equipment (adapters for all RV types from vintage Airstreams to brand-new Newmars)

Portable RV Pumps (what some competitors use):

• ❌ Limited suction (may not empty completely—leaves residual waste)
• ❌ Small capacity (15-30 gallons max—where’s that even going?)
• ❌ Easily clogged (can’t handle toilet paper buildup or any solids)
• ❌ Short hose (must park very close to RV—good luck with that in most backyards)
• ❌ Questionable disposal (seriously, where does that waste actually go?)

Bottom line: We use the same powerful equipment for RVs that we use for 1,500-gallon residential septic tanks. I’ve pumped tanks at homes, then driven five miles to pump an RV with the same truck. Your 50-gallon RV holding tank? That’s a warmup for equipment designed to handle fifteen hundred gallons of residential sewage.

One summer we did a job at the Western Idaho Fairgrounds during a big RV rally—pumped eighteen rigs in one afternoon. Our truck’s capacity meant we could do six or seven RVs before heading to the treatment plant. Portable pumps would’ve taken three days to do the same job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can you pump my RV if the dump valves are broken?

A: Often, yes. If your valves won’t open, we can sometimes pump through the roof vent (requires ladder access) or from the toilet cleanout. We’ll assess on-site and let you know if it’s possible.

Q: Do I need to be home during service?

A: Not necessarily. If you provide gate codes and clearly mark which RV to pump, we can service while you’re away. We’ll text photos when complete.

Q: What if my tank is frozen?

A: Winter RV tanks can freeze. We can pump partially frozen tanks (slush), but cannot pump solid ice. You’ll need to thaw the tank first (RV heater, warm location) before we can pump.

Q: Can you pump my boat’s holding tank?

A: Absolutely! Boats with marine sanitation devices (MSDs) are no problem. We pump houseboats, yachts, cabin cruisers—any marine waste system.

Q: Do you handle Class A, Class B, Class C, fifth wheels, travel trailers?

A: All types. Our adapters work with every RV configuration. From small pop-up campers to 45-foot diesel pushers.

Q: What about toy haulers or hybrid RVs?

A: Yes to both. As long as it has holding tanks with external dump connections (or roof vents), we can pump it.

Q: Can you pump rental porta-potties or construction toilets?

A: Yes, but pricing is different for commercial waste. Call for quote on portable toilet service.

Q: Where does the waste go after you pump my RV?

A: We transport to a licensed wastewater treatment facility (same place residential septic waste goes). Fully legal and environmentally compliant disposal.

Q: Can you pump my RV’s fresh water tank too?

A: We can drain fresh water tanks, but it requires different hoses (we don’t cross-contaminate). Mention this when booking so we bring appropriate equipment.

Q: How often do RV tanks need pumping?

A: Depends on use:

• Active use: Every 3-5 days of full-time living
• Weekend use: Every 2-3 weekends
• Storage: Once before winterizing, once after de-winterizing
• Emergency only: When tanks are full or system fails

Real Customer Scenarios

Scenario 1: The Stored Motorhome

Customer: “We have a 35-foot Class A motorhome that hasn’t moved in 2 years (expired registration, planning to sell). Black tank is full. Nearest dump station is 8 miles away.”

Solution: Mobile pump-out for $145. Saved customer from registering/insuring RV just to dump, or risk of DIY dumping into inadequate home septic.

This was in Star, nice property, big motorhome parked behind the house. Guy was retiring and downsizing. Hadn’t touched the RV in two years but the tanks were still full from their last trip. We pulled up, ran the hose around back, pumped both tanks in twenty minutes. He had it listed on Facebook Marketplace that afternoon.

Customer saved: $300+ (vs. registration) or risk of septic damage

---

Scenario 2: The Broken Valve Emergency

Customer: “Fifth wheel’s black tank dump valve is stuck closed. Tank is 100% full. Toilet won’t flush. Leaving for vacation in 2 days.”

Solution: Emergency same-day pump through roof vent. $185 total. Customer could use RV while waiting for valve repair.

This one was in Meridian, couple was leaving for a month-long Alaska trip. Valve seized up—probably struvite buildup around the gate. We climbed up with a ladder, removed the roof vent cap, and pumped from the top. Not ideal, but it got them on the road. They fixed the valve properly when they got back.

Alternative: Couldn’t use RV at all, miss vacation, or pay for emergency mobile RV repair + dump.

---

Scenario 3: The Winter Winterization

Customer: “Need to winterize travel trailer but can’t get it out of backyard (snow, tight gate). Want tanks completely empty before adding antifreeze.”

Solution: Mobile pump-out through snow-covered yard. $155. Ensured tanks were 100% dry for proper winterization.

This was January, Nampa, buried in snow. Travel trailer parked behind a shed with a gate that was maybe four inches too narrow. We walked the hose back there—took three sections to reach—and pumped everything out. Customer added RV antifreeze and was good to go for winter storage.

Customer saved: $200-400 (vs. paying someone to move RV to dump station)

---

Scenario 4: The Boat in the Driveway

Customer: “Yacht has been in driveway for 3 months (trailer repair). Marine toilet holding tank is full. Can’t launch boat just to dump.”

Solution: Standard mobile pump-out. $135. Boat owner avoided marina fees and boat launch hassle.

Yeah, we do boats too. This was a nice cabin cruiser in Eagle—trailer axle issues, owner was waiting on parts. Marine holding tanks are the same concept as RV tanks, just different fittings. Pumped it right there in the driveway.

Alternative: Launch boat ($40), fuel to marina ($30), pump-out at marina ($25) = $95 + 3 hours of time.
