If your septic system is a holding tank and a dispersion field, I would make sure that what you have can handle the volume that you are going to introduce.

If you are connecting to a municipal sewer system, you should have no problems. You probably have a
4" PVC pipe with gravity flow to the main in the street. Find the end of the pipe and install a cleanout if you plan to extend it later. Make sure the pipe is capped upstream of the cleanout. If not, just install a 4" sweep (not an elbow) and extend it to the surface. Find an adaptor like you would see on an RV site and make sure it has a screw adaptor on top. Just hook up like you do at a camping site.
Ask your local RV site who their suppliers are........
