Explore the Sylmar Area

Hit the service point during weekday mornings when commercial traffic is lighter and you won't compete with weekend warriors.

Keep your gray tank valve closed until after dumping waste water – the standard procedure that prevents backflow issues.

Bring your own fresh water if possible, or check with local motorhome parks about day-use water privileges. The nearby Shell and Chevron stations on Foothill Boulevard stock basic motorhome supplies, though selection is limited compared to dedicated motorhome stores.

Propane refills are available at several locations along San Fernando Road, with U-Haul and Amerigas dealers offering tank exchanges.

Always carry extra gloves and bring your own rinse water since not all facilities provide these basics.
