Hi everyone! Thank you for sharing this video on dumping your Rv waste into septic tank. It looks easy to do but hard too. But I know it’s gotta be done. It’s also good to know. Thank you again. Hope all is well with you all. Stay safe and see you soon.

You don't want to dump that close to your leech field line. Go find the input line and put your T joint in there. Because you put your dump next to the leech line, you're going to churn your sludge right next to the exit which will cause sludge to enter your leech. I have to give this one a big fat NO, don't do this. Put the T on the input line. Not in the middle of the tank.

Thank you so so much for posting this, you're a lifesaver! We are going full-time soon and are parked on some property that has septic.

That's a great idea. I was dreading digging up the intake pipe to add another line. Thanks

Thank you so much for this vid. Saved, shared and will come in handy this coming weekend .

Thanks. I was going to install a dump through the knockout on the riser and had many obstacles, (pipe od, fittings, etc.) plus much more expensive. Your way is easier and cheaper.

Wow lots of great stuff on your channel. We also dump in our septic tank but don't have the set up you have, great idea. Thanks for sharing.

Great idea. Looks like Alex+. RTV might last longer on the exterior. I would have used pvc glue on the underside.

When we set in place longer than a few days, we use pvc pipe. The sun slowly deteriorates the slinky hoses

Hope your all doing well and I hope all things are going well with the new project

I highly recommend getting a clear fitting at the septic tank lid so you can see that all solids are coming out and you can see when the water is clear when flushing your black tank. Its inexpensive and I think is a must. If your stomach can’t handle it get a blue dye That is septic safe. Tons on the market. Also make sure whatever cleaners you are using along with toilet paper are septic safe. Great video. We were full time but now purchased a home and want to connect to our septic for friends and family to stay in the trailer when visiting. This is a great idea and very cost effective. Another thing I have seen people do is run solid pipe. It holds up to the elements of weather much better and you can build a form to run the pipe at proper slope if you don’t have the best drainage. Of course it’s a lot more expensive and more for long term.

Good video and tips I live off a septic system. Also did you hear silverwood is getting a new single rail coster called stunt piolet, coming 2021

Thanks

Could I just connect to the cleanout? It's just a few feet from the tank. Thanks for sharing 👍

Awesome TY If you were parked permanently somewhere, could you leave that hooked up?

Just wondering if you guys are going to be traveling any time soon? Thanks for sharing. Be safe.

Oh man I would die if I dropped something down in the septic I was recording with. Great video and something I'll be doing soon at my house just in case we go boondocking and just want to dump here instead of paying

Hi James and Ashley and goose and maverick happy Sunday

Did you make a video about the pipe that connects directly to the septic line to make the piece come up ( that this video of connecting the piece already installed.shows pipe coming up )....????

I have a clean out in back of my house, do you think I could use it instead of have an eye sore sticking up out of my tanks

nice video. this is something i was looking to do. buy land, rv trailer, get septic tank built. then later in life, built a shipping container home. thank you for the info

Hi! This is the first video that I have seen on your channel. Do you use any chemicals in the holding tank of the trailer?

In my two homes, both have concrete covers that are buried. Michigan & Florida. Going to be a challenge on ether of them.

😄....that last take 🤣

Know this is year or so old but is it possible to just dump a camper ceptic into a houses tank? Like just out the bottom threw a hose. Thanks!

Hello! Does anyone know where I can find the same lid shown in the video? The lid on my septic tank has "concrete keepers" that will need to be sawed to connect the coupling pipe underneath. Thank you!

At least put a pipe underneath the lid where your lid is going through the scum layer that floats on top, this is just going to churn up your septic tank and make solids transfer further down the system.

Alot of comments point out something that seems to make very good sense!!! Do NOT drop your waste directly through the top of your holding tank (first tank). This will upset the fragile eco system that 'it' is. Tap into the waste line that comes from your house and into that holding tank (first tank). Thats hard to do obvously cuase it's going to be buried 2 or 3 feet below the surface. More often then not there will be a clean out that taps into that same line and that is where you could tie your RV waste line in.

Could I do this to a septic. Tank that has. Na irrigation system

Did you do any research on if your allowed to cut a hole in your septic lid? My county is really strict on septic systems and I'm concerned it will violate something. I normally just unscrew the lid and dump.

You must have a good sized septic system. My 3 bedroom system is already pushed to the max with 5 of us. Another system plugged in would be sure to damage it.

A serious 'Thank you' for this video; exactly the solution needed.

Any chemicals or agents used inside the trailer?

DO NOT DO THIS!!! I just talked to my septic pumping guy, and he said doing this will ruin your drain field in about 3 months. It has to do with what happens to the effluent in the tank. There is stuff that needs to float until it is digested by the bacteria, and stuff that needs to settle to the bottom. In between is the clear "Effluent" that heads to the drain field. When you dump 40 gallons of black then 40 gal off gray from the lid it stirs the whole tank and wipes out that delicate balance of what is floating, and what has settled. Solids then will run into your leach lines and clog it up. If you are going to do this (it is not per code) but at least tie into the line that runs from the house to the tank with a full sweep. That way the sewerage enters the tank where it is supposed to. Also, never use any type of RV deodorant, or any chemical that helps dissolve the sewerage. This also ruins how the tank is to work. It is the bacteria in the tank that makes it all work. And never dump it all at once. Dump maybe 20 gallons then wait 15 minutes, and dump another 20 gal.

As a plumber who installs septic tanks and Leitchfield I agree 100%. Basically by dumping such a large volume of solid waist into your tank a large portion will go directly to the area that only the pure liquid waste can go Thus clogging the system up. The only way to fix a clogged Leitchfield is to fill it in and rebuild it. As a example: the more people that uses a system = the larger the system must be.

I was told the exact same thing by my septic guy, thankfully I only used it once.

I wonder if it is better to tap into the sewage pipe that leads into the septic tank instead of going through the cover, if that is possible. I will explore this further and will ask my septic guy. Fascinating subject BTW :and thanks : )

@100tesla1

Yes, it is better to tap into the line from the house because then the sewage enters the tank without stirring it up and the system can operate as it was designed. Use the clean out. You may already have one in that line because in most places it is required.

that caulk will liquify when it gets wet

Thanks for the video. Years since I had an RV but what about the chemicals? If you are dumping to the septic tank do you need to keep the chemicals out of the RV tanks?

@mariannelins184

Жыл бұрын

I have the same question. I'm told RV chemicals can really mess up the way a septic system works...

Is that up to code? I just bought some land in the mountains of Franklin NC. It has a septic system already installed.

Even the Rhino version of hose is not very sturdy. Mine had holes in less than two years and I was not sure where the smells were coming from for months. If you are on your own property it makes sense to just buy ABS pipes and set up with no risk of leaks...stink doesn't just disappear if those hoses fail. Not worth the risk. LOL

This is perfect. I will install something similar but I plan to temporarily dump in sewage cart and transport over to septic tank. It's 100 feet away. Nice job. Question for you - love the music in the first part of the video - who are they?

Is it smart to dump a full tank into a full septic tank?

Another good reason not to do this is Bacteria. A good functioning septic system needs plenty of bacteria to break down the solids and function properly. Be cautious about dumping any RV holding tank sewer in a septic system that has been treated with aftermarket conditioners to reduce smells and odors. These chemicals will neutralize the bacteria in a septic system and drain field over time. Only way to fix the problem when this happens is sucking and flushing out the septic tank and digging in a new drain field.

Why is daddy talking to himself. He's going insane🤪

Great idea, but my main concern is that RV wastewater is not going through the intake baffle on the septic tank. What I think is going to happen is that you will have all the RV waste solids sitting on top of the Scum layer and the heavy particles "might not" settle to the bottom of the tank like they are supposed to (trapped on the Scum layer). An extension tube down through the scum layer might be a fix.

Like #100, checking in.

Your system is only capable of breaking down waste at a rate you normally use it. If you’re barely there traveling in your rv, then you dump it when you get home and use it like regular, you’ll be putting an extreme load on your system and could do damage to it depending upon age of system and maintenance routine. Also, silicone is not a suitable bonding agent. If you do this, use PVC glue where the coupling attaches to the adapter on the underside of the lid. Still silicone the top but glue the bottom.

If the slope to too much downhill, won't the liquids leave all the solids behind?

@casuttles1479

Жыл бұрын

yes, dont go much over 1/4" slope per foot, (around 7.5 inches drop, over 30ft,) maybe a bit more for plastic corrugated flex, OR you risk clogging wtith solids. If you MUST exceed that slope, then plan on blasting the flex line with your (saved) discharge from gray water tank, every several days

Most homes have a clean out so why wouldn't you just use that? Even if it doesn't just tap Into your pipe going to the first chamber which would have made it a much shorter run and probably wouldn't have needed any additional hoses.

Find your sewer input line and put a T on it. You will have to hand dig it. It should be about 36 inches down if it's done right.

I do not ever recommend any one ever opening their septic tank without a septic professional there!!! use the clean out pipe!

P trap!!!!!

Wtf you lost me at chicklets

So at the beginning it said they sold their house and went on the road to full time RVing and then it shows you dumping at your own property,so kinda confusing or a big contradiction there. It's cool if you're in the RV living on a piece of land.
