Re: [a/s] Couple of good tips...



That has been our approach, with equal success.  We don't have a Sewer Solution,
but I have an extra 20 foot hose so can join up to make 30 feet of the 3 inch
hose if needed (it seldom is).  Don't dump the tank until it is nearly full,
slosh it around well before dumping, use a good (but non-formaldehyde)
digestant.  We too have never had a clog, or a problem with paper.

At home we dug a trench and ran a properly sloping 4 inch ABS line from the MH
parking spot to the septic tank.  At the parking-space end there is a standard
threaded fitting just like the ones in the campgrounds.  It is nearly flush with
the ground and about three feet from the MH outlet when parked.  And oh yes,
that line is also properly vented, with a soil pipe extending maybe ten feet in
the air (attached to the side of a shed so it doesn't blow down).  Works like a
charm.
