I’m having a slab and hookups put in my side yard for RV parking. The clean out will tap into the sewer system from my property in CA. I want to make sure the Contractor is doing it right, so asking for guidelines from the group around:
1). How far away should the clean out be from the rig (away from the rig and/or downstream)? This is my most important question
2). Is there a pipe thickness/material I should be requiring?
3). For the hose hookup, is there a kind/brand I need to mandate?
4). Tips to make sure it doesn’t stink (like threaded cap, any shapes/slope I need to look for, etc.)
Smoothio,
Answers as I know them and may not be applicable to CA.
(They have their own way for lots of things.)
1- It's your rig and your pad, put it where you want, but along the edge (so it is easy to mow around) and not too far from where the dump will be when parked.
2- Standard 4" DWV pipe is all it needs to be. (Basic stuff)
3- No. If the hose might be there longer than just to dump. you might get a male adapter to put the hose tapered collar into.
4- You do want a threaded cap for when it is not in use, but when it is, just do like you are in crowded campground.
Mine is in Michigan and in grass so I set it up that I can mow right over it with the plug in.
