Hookups at home
Has anybody installed hookups at their home so the camper can be used as an extra bedroom for overnight guests?

In my case I can get to my washer waste water dump rather easy in the garage. When I use my FLOJET 18555 Waste Water Pump kit (AMAZON) I just run a 3/4-inch water hose and stick it down the washer discharge pipe...
My back yard water hose is long enough to reach the trailers just fine... We have never use our fresh water tanks for drinking or cooking so no need to get special water hose etc... Of course hooking up the water hose and using the water inside the trailer starts filling up your waste water tanks and you eventually will have to deal with that...
My trailers are parked next to a woods area which are on my property and I may have let some gray water drain into the woods a few times hehe... I never see water pool up in the woods. Goes into the ground right away...
I have seen folks that live around me use their washing machine to water their bushes so things are very lax around here I reckon haha...
I guess putting in a permanent line to septic system would have to get approval. They are installed based on the number of bedrooms your house has I think...
Our local rules here is no one can permanently live in a motorhome except at designated trailer courts/camp ground setups. The county does allow parking the RV's at your property however.
I would imagine hooking up permanent water and sewer would qualify this as a permanent trailer house which is not allowed here except in Trailer courts or camp grounds...???
When in doubt go talk with the county folks before investing alot of monies...
This is a good reason for me to have the water hose and portable Macerator setup haha...
We also invite the neighbors over alot around our outside patio hehe... We are really liked when the local power goes out for a week... Patio TV cookout party every evening...
Always have a good PLAN B...
