hooking up grey water to....

[wavery]

the black water sewer line at full hook up sites, What's needed?  We haven't been in full hook ups yet and want to make sure we have everything we need.  Pictures would be awesome.  When we purchased the PU we got this:



but that's all, what else will we need?

Hehehehe........I mis-read your post :eyecrazy:

I thought that you were talking about Black water.............I didn't connect the dots :p  :compumad:

I just reread my post (which I didn't subscribe to :p ) and it does sound like that is what I'm saying.  I meant having the shower grey water or sink water drain into the sewer instead of buckets - oh I mean grey water holding tanks :p

PIPPOP27, the hose you have is no use for your popup. Same with the fittings Wavery is recommending. They are for Travel Tralers and RV's with holding tanks and a 3" drain outlet from the tanks.

If you don't already have a drain adaptor, that reduces the drain from your trailer from 1 1/2" to 3/4 " get one from your dealer or camping world, and then use an old garden hose. It should work fine.

Ok That's what I was meaning - like what the heck is this hose for???  It didn't look like it fit into anything, yes a hose would work fine, and would hook up nicely - now just remembering to bring it heehee!

question #2 Does the other end of the hose just go into the fitting the ground? Or do I need some sort of adpater like what is being recommended?

You can just put the hose in the opening of the pipe and then put a weight on it to hold the end of the hose in place.  I would rather have my sewer connection sealed.  No odors coming out of the pipe and no open pipe.

Since we're on the subject of gray water, I have a question. A couple of years ago we were camped at a state park in Rhode Island. Each campsite had a large concrete pipe-like thing coming up out of the ground. It was large - with a diameter roughly equal to a normal manhole cover. This was open, however. I walked around and looked at some of them and found standing water in many of them. The ones without standing water had a gravel bottom, and they were about two feet deep. Some of the ones with standing water had fairly clear water, like rain water had collected. Others had the most disgusting gray water in them. I asked our neighbor camper what this was all about. They said these were for gray water! The park WANTED you to dump your gray water in there! I couldn't believe it. The neighbor that I asked felt the same way I did. In fact, as soon as they arrived in the campground they taped a plastic garbage bag tightly over their "pipe in the ground."

Has anyone ever heard of such nonsense - and from a state park no less?
