Review Details

Today’s RV’s themselves are built better with improved water tanks, better filters and more and more parks with everything to make life easier. Also, RV Hookups are usually better and easier today than they were 10 years ago. Before we get into hooking up your RV – let’s understand how this all comes together “under one roof”. Unless you have a firm grasp of the differences, we strongly recommend reading these pages as well. It must be properly handled and preserved or serious illness can result.

Now that you have glimpsed the best features of top RV sewer hoses in the market, let’s discuss the nitty-gritties of using an RV sewer hose, like what certain considerations you must have when buying a hose, and how to install, clean, and store your RV sewer hose.

I installed septic systems for quite a few years and have seen some weird things people have done with their systems. Installing an RV sewer dump into a home septic system is very easy. Remember sewer lines should not have quick drops because the water will leave the solids if there are any. Large elevation changes should be made with 90 degree drops.

One inch of drop in a one hundred foot line is almost overkill, we always tried for no more than a half inch drop per hundred foot, but that is hard to do using plastic line. Ideally the solids are kept with the liquid and casually float to the septic tank entrance. Connect your RV dump line into the septic system between the house and septic tank, never into the drain field.

Another option is to drop the discharge from you RV directly into the top of the septic tank, preferably before the baffle, but after the baffle will work if that is the only possibility. A macerator or other grinder will help but is not a requirement.
