We are camping at full hook up park in Deming NM. The sewer connection is about 5? out of the ground so it was difficult to keep the exit end of the sewer hose in the hole. I’ve seen a commercially available device called a “Sewer Pig” and decided I needed to whip one up.A sewer pig is simply a sandbag that sits on top of the sewer hose and holds it down.Two Quart size freezer zip lock bags, a few shovels full of sand and some Gorilla tape and I had a Sewer Pig!

Great idea! How would we survive without ziploc bags!

How does it fall off of the pipe if you thread it on ?

Sheesh, before I did my axle flip, I wouldn't even be able to offload into a sewer that high.Nice solution putting the sandbags together.

Who says **** doesn't roll uphill? Good job. Just sad that people who design these places can't figure that out.

That sewer doesn't have a threaded cap on it, which is code in Michigan, isn't it code in Nevada? Perhaps the plan was to cut the pipe close to final grade, and then install the threaded cap?If the park had followed code, OP wouldn't have an issue with the drain hose falling out, since it would be threaded in.

For some unknown reason, the thread in adapter I have will not thread into the standing pipe. In fact, the thread in cap won't thread in other than a 1/2 thread. The treads in the standing pipe must be damaged.

It drains just fine as the outlet on the trailer is higher than the standing pipe. But there is a bit of water left in the drain pipe after the tanks are emptied. Need to disconnect from trailer and lift up the end and "walk the pipe" to empty it.

It did look cross-threaded to me. I thought maybe my chair had a short leg or something when I looked at it.

There actualy is a product caled a Sewer Pig. it is a plastic bottle holds about a gallon of water (8 pounds) shaped like a pig, assorted colors and the bottom is designed to the "legs" of the pig fit over the sewer hose outlet/nozzle and hold it in the ground.

There is also a product called as I recal HOSE BUDDY. same concept but it is more "Block" shaped.. i have one of those. The Pig is simply the same product but cuter.
