Suggestion:
Run a garden hose at full blast for 5-10 minutes into that pipe and see if anything "unexpected" happens.
Then, dump your waste tank at your regular dumping facility. Then use your black tank flush several times and really clean the black waste tank as good as you can. Then, fill up your black waste tank with fresh water until it is 100% full. Then, do a test dump at your home with all that "mostly clean" water and see what happens. In the event things don't work out quite how you thought, or things back up because it flows too fast into it, or if it backs up or flows out somewhere else, at least it will be with "mostly clean" water coming during this test dump.
That's what I would do.
We have a waste line clean-out access point in our front yard. I have wanted to try it out. But my wife doesn't want me to so I don't. Is anyone else picturing Cousin Eddie in a bathrobe and smoking a cigar right now???
Good luck!
