55 Gal drum. Cut some holes in it. Attach 3 or 4 inch plastic (PVC or Black) drain lines with holes for drainage. Gravel around the drain lines. I am full time living in the RV and my drain lines are 30 feet long. No problems after 5 years.
Only once a week you may not need a leach field. Simply cut some holes in the drum near the top and bury it with about 4 - 6 inches of gravel around the drum for drainage.
What is the worst that can happen. If it does not work after a few years (due to your soil conditions) then (if you are still alive) you can pay $$$$ to have it done right. . . . :B . . . :B
When I moved to South FL on a very small lot with very limited space for to park the TT, DW and I need to live in my TT for 6 months while I remolded my home. With the sandy soil of South FL I only dug a trench and added 4 section of black drain pipe one on top of the other for my septic tank/leach field. No 55 Gal drum. Not legal but it worked for the time I lived fulltime in the TT.
