Macerating/dumping into septic system vent stack.

We are brand new 5th wheel owners. We have a massive septic system with no easy access clean out, but there is a vent stack right next to our 5th wheel. Providing we are adding the recommended chemicals into our toilet is macerating waste & dumping into a vent stack safe for the septic system? Thanks for your help!

    I would check with your county office to make sure you are not breaking any local laws.

    You may have to install something like the camp grounds have to be absolute legal.

    I think the size of the septic systems is based on the number of bedrooms you have. Obviously the RV would be counted as one more bedroom being added to the septic system.

    This would be the legal approach. Who knows what others do on the quasi-illegal side.

    I rather doubt pouring waste down the SEPTIC SYSTEM VENT lines would be a legal thing you can do...

    As for me everytime I do something quasi-illegal it ends up biting me haha...

    Just my thoughts
