The septic system was originally on the property and in use before the barn was built over it. That was done specifically to utilize the septic system for a barn bathroom. Before the trailer was plugged in, that bathroom worked fine. No backup, odors, or any kind of problem, even in wet/freezing weather. Since it was working, I haven't rechecked the septic. yet. What you're all saying about saturation makes sense though, so if I have exhausted all efforts checking out the trailer then I will indeed have to start on the septic system.
The one check we did do in the barn was to look at what the drain in the shower did when we flushed the toilet. There was no variance in the shower drain's water level (I would think it would back out through the p-trap if the line to the septic was plugged) and the shower and toilet join up close together before entering the septic tank.
I'm in this trailer alone and just do not use much water. I appreciate your feedback! I will follow up with every idea that I can, so please keep them coming!
