|  My backyard
I just found out that until my spouse's parents get settled moving into this state they want to get a 5th wheel and actually live in my backyard. I am not too sure how I feel about this.

Ouch! I don't know if that would work for me or not. I love my husband's parents but there's such a thing as too much togetherness. Plus, something like that's going to destroy your lawn.

Where do they intend to dump their holding tanks?

That would be a no for me, but my spouse would never ask me to do such a thing so I'm safe. Personally I don't think it's a good idea, but breaking the news to your spouse probably won't be fun.

Grandpa that is a darn good question!
They could easily do this at a family members home that is actually equipped with two hookups both off the side of the house and off the side of the shop, they also have a ton more room compared to us. I have no idea what they are thinking but I need to think up something snazzy before their visit (quick trip) happens in September so I know what to tell them. I guess they are thinking the back yard would be okay.

I would find out why they want to stay at your place rather than the better equipped location. Maybe there is a good reason. Or maybe they want to spend more time with someone in your household than they have in the past.

I am not sure what I would do in this case either but try to be as polite as possible. I love my in laws but that does not mean I want them in my business 24/7.
