    Septic tank at home

    Do any of y'all have a septic tank for the camper at home or tie into home tank. How did you do it?

    You could also try to avoid using the black water tank when at home. Go inside the house.

    T into the line between house and tank with a threaded cap. If the tank has another inlet, you can run a pipe somewhere as long as gravity allows it.
    If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
    nothing else matters.​

    You will have to tie into the main drain running to the septic. If you have a clean out teed in along that route you can tie in there and if not you could put a clean out cap inline pretty easy. The only issue you might have is where is the clean out going to reside in comparison to the camper and will you have gravity to pull waste to the clean out. If you don't have gravity on your side you could buy a portable waste tank and dump into it then roll it up to the clean out and dump it. That's not a very nice job if you have to do it very often and for very long though.
