Take a different color hose for others uses so you can distinguish the difference. Older VW Buses and campervans will sometimes use this. Step 4: Check the sewer hose to ensure it is securely clamped to the adapter and zip to attach to the holding tank drain outlet. Of the few RV parks we visit in our travels only a small handful have cable, and of those only a couple have a quality non-static signal. There are two ways to clear out the drain hole. The force of these 2 flushes will push all the solids out of the black water tank into the parks sewer line, stopping any vapors going up the tank vent. If the bacteria dies you have to have tank pumped and start over again and helps to add bacteria product monthly. Is a ring line needed?.

Need some input guys! What would it take to put in a septic system for an RV on our property. It would be inhabited by one person, our home is on a septic, and I know there are codes and such. I just am trying to get an idea of what is involved. A few of the sites I looked at seemed more for larger systems. Is a leach line needed? Off to do some more research, just wanted to go to my favorite place for info first! TIA What is the elevation difference from the septic tank inlet to where you want to park the RV? Is the tank higher or lower and how much. There are several ways to do this some kind of cheap compared to the expensive options. You could put in a new system for the RV, that means tanks, drain field, pumps and timers if required, plus engineering and permits. You could put in a grinder pump and tank, and pump it to the existing septic tank. You could get a macerator pump for the RV and run a line to the existing septic tank. The last option is what I did at my parents house for when we visit in our motorhome because their septic tank was uphill from where we park it and was the cheapest option. At the RV end I ran the line into a underground valve box with lots of gravel under it to handle any spillage. The line then turns up 90 degrees and ends with a standard hose fitting thread. I have a macerator pump which mounts right on my sewer drain connection on the motorhome and then a hose which runs from that to the fitting in the valve box. Also have a switch inside the motorhome to turn the pump on and off. Procedure when we get there is to attach the pump, hook up the hose and then open the ball valve. Procedure when we leave is to run a lot of water into the holding tank of the motorhome to flush it out and the pump and hose. This way when you unhook the hose it won't be so messy, and to flush out the line running to the septic tank so it won't get clogged when just sitting. Then close the ball valve, unhook the hose, and the unhook the pump. Then rinse out the hose and pump. I missed it if this was said before, RV's use a chemical additive in the waste tank to prevent break-down and odor. It is this additive that you don't want in your ground septic system or it will cease functioning properly. Even if the RV is parked, if you're using the holding tank, you'll likely be using the additive for odor control. If you're plumbing directly to the septic and certain no additive will be used, that is a different story.
