Do a Google search for "rv sewer hose to pvc adapter" to connect to the PVC pipe. They make a number of different type to fit what type (threaded or glue type) of plumbing you use. I did not glue my fitting, simply a tight press fit (with some boards to support the PVC) does not leak since there is no pressure on the drain lines. This way I am able to disconnect and reconnect when I take the RV on a weekend trip.
