Use home sewer cleanout as dump station?
I have found references to dumping RV tanks into home sewer cleanouts on other forums, but nothing definitive. In colder climates, it's not allowed for fear that the hose will stay connected for more...

Whether it's allowed or not will depend on the municipality or whoever sends you your sewer bill. In my case, I thought it better not to ask. If someone doesn't like it I'll stop. I dumped at home for the first time last week and it was so liberating! No more driving 10 miles to the closest campground and paying $20 to dump.
Unfortunately what I thought was a sewer cleanout in my yard was actually a cleanout for a drywell that collects rainwater from my gutters. Make sure what you're looking at is your sanitary sewer clean-out. The real clean-out is about half-way down my very steep driveway in a spot where I wouldn't be able to dump because of the slope. Long story short I bought Valterra's Sewer Solution and plumbed it into the sewer line in my basement. Like everyone else said - when you flush in your house it goes racing past that clean out and to the same place. Whether you dump there or in the house doesn't matter.
