Sewer Hookup @ Home?
I am parking right next to my garage, so power and water are easy. I am going to add 30AMP service myself, and water is already there. Has anybody ever added a sewer hookup at their house? How easy...

There are two general ways to do this:
1: Have a plumber add a "clean-out" near your rig. Semantics are critical here... you don't want to use the words, "dump station", since you might run afoul of a lot of regulations. However, a clean-out where your dump hose adapter screws onto is perfectly OK.
2: Use a macerator pump. Done right, it isn't that much of a hassle, it allows you to pump uphill.
Here in Canada a so-called "sewer clean-out" located somewhere on one's property is unusual, particularly in newer subdivisions, and I certainly don't have one. Even if I did I wouldn't choose to passively dump the contents of the trailer's black water tank, instead invested in a FloJet Waste Macerator Pump and installed a T to the main sewer stack in the house. I've been using this system for 10 yrs now and it's faultless, also use the macerator when camping ... a series of 7 pics starts here for anyone interested.
