RV park close and only charges $10 to dump. Septic is 6K to add. Can add septic later but didn't want to run out of money before I run out of building. Always more to buy than you think when building. Like 3 big and easy to grab fire extinguishers etc etc...
But got some good ideas from the gang, so this was worth a post...

We have a diy septic setup for our bus barn, in fact they're old original holding tanks from the bus to catch the solids prior to the leech field. No issue since 2012. If we have a serious dump we use the real 1500 gal septic for the house. A macerator pump will let you pump waste to any toilet easily. Fwiw. 
Our fully finished basement's waste drops into a large concrete tank lower than the basement grade and gets pumped every 75 gal drawdown to the large septic. Yep when we pioneered our place over 40 years ago - Dad was superintendent of water & sewer in Hallandale FL - very convenient to say the least...

That sounds like a very good idea. Though I am finding that unless I am doing a lot of Boone docking I make it sooner or later to either an RV park or highway rest stop that lets me dump.

Though hey if you are using the bus as a mini hotel for visitors (good thing they are 1/4 mile away)! It shouldn't be a concern...

 Nobody will stay in the bus at the barn. If we need the bus for sleeping space we will bring it to the house where we have full hook ups. Our lake is the rearing lake for Stripers that go the the state hatchery, so Nazi rules on septic. No holding tanks allowed. Must do full fledged septic for a house on raw land that is on the lake, even if just to dump an RV. But I am glad there are rules to protect our watershed. We like our Stripers.....
