It's hard to go far wrong with a dedicated tag for a feature with: 1) A strong clear definition 2) That features prominently on printed recreation maps, with a standard icon. 3) Has a large community of mappers behind it. However that said, the large mapping community for RV dumps is not on OSM: http://www.sanidumps.com/ http://openpois.net/ http://www.poi-factory.com/ http://www.rvdumps.com/ http://rvdumpsites.net/about/ http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/maint/ra/RVStations.htm http://www.dot.state.mn.us/restareas/pdf/dumpstationslist.pdf
