I’m so glad I came across your video just watched the other video I recently purchased a rv for my daughter to live in on my property and I’m completely clueless on where to even start. These videos have been great! I don’t wanna dig my yard up so thank you . I agree it’s not illegal when your paying for it on your land! You don’t have to justify yourself everyone has their opinion but it’s your land!!! Subscribed
Also, most code violations only applied to permanent structures. If your add-on is 'temporary', it may not be a violation. It is really up to the local codes if dumping into your cleanout is legal. In many it is, in some it is not. And you're right. Even if it is a violation, it isn't criminal.
You own your home you own your rv nuff said other people have no say in what you do plus it's the same waste either in the house or rv the same people are using it don't worry buddy
Bro I love those words those thoughts I always said if you don't pay my mortgage then don't worry about what I do on my property because I don't pay yours so won't worry what you do on yours 🙌🏻
In the area where I live, many of the property owners keep their RVs at their homes. This is allowed as long as it is done in a neat orderly manner Most of these RVs sit on concrete pads that are covered (like a carport) and have full hookups (electric, water and sewer) so they can be used for overnight visitors. Among our neighbors are a city mayor, two city council members, an attorney, a surveyor, my daughter is a real estate agent and I am a homebuilder. We are ALL aware of building codes and rules and regulations set in place by our Property Owners Association, and their is nothing in the documents of either addressing the storage or use of RVs. After a short discussion of your concern, we can't see a problem, other than the leak. It all depends on where you live and how stringent the codes, rules and regulations are. I wouldn't worry too much about the nosy neighborhood nazis who try to make your business, their business.
@@Buckwsrmy gmas house has a septic that’s on the ground. I would need one of those wrenches to open it and just put my sewage plug into it. But wouldn’t that close the connection so the sewage pouring in will be closed off? Isn’t there a type of cap meant for the rv sewage hookup? Like a cap on top of the lid?
@@robertlapin813 dang I wish I could have a chat with you, so I could get some insight as to how to do it, was it costly to setup? Does it need to be very close to the septic tank?
Thank you for sharing. I live in Texas and at one point the small town I live in now was coded no restrictions and the Lot next to me which I own as well had an Rv, there is power running to it from my house but no sewer from what I am aware of. So the other day I had an idea like yours, either renting it out full time or one/two nights since we live close to the lake. I called the city and they basically told me NO. They said I can hook it up to the electricity to keep my appliances running but I couldn't rent it out for any reason. I said my mom comes from out town I would like a place for her to stay a few nights and she said no. I was disappointed. We pay taxes and utilities, we should be able to do what we want as long as it doesn't harm anyone. Either way I thought about still doing it, but now that I mentioned it to them I am bit nervous about it. I don't have an RV but I was planning to get one and do what you are doing. I can't find any clean outs either. Might be buried somewhere. Any advice on any of this?
No advice, really. I would not have called to ask for permission from the township. As the saying goes, It's easier to get forgiveness than permission. Or something like that....
Another option is if you get a mascerator pump, it will chew up the solids and pump into a garden hose. A little more expensive, but less construction.
the legal standpoint depends on what state or county your in. its perfectly legal in Florida as long as u have it set back a certain amount of feet to your zoning laws and it must be connected to your septic and have electricity. as long as u meet all these stipulations its perfectly legal in the state of Florida. now any other place I haven't checked because I live in Florida and I plan on doing this for my son so he can save his money and buy his own property one day and start a family.
My daughter's little family just bought an RV trailer, we're setting it up on the family farm, connecting to the houses septic tank. Give me a reason to have it pumped, need a dumping port accessibility! A Storm is Coming
Just cut in a dumping port into the sewer line from the house to the septic tank for her trailer. And you only need to pump the tank if you are having problems.
Make sure they use enzyme treatment in their black tank and not a formaldehyde based treatment. The formaldehyde will wreak havoc on your septic and leech field.
I appreciate your work on this project, both times. But I wonder why you didn't expose the Pipe with concrete around it at the start of the original video and see how deep it was. And then replace the elbow with a T and then dig a trench straight to the RV site saving pipe lengths and put a permanent RV Dump Connection there. All would be underground if you had enough fall and you would have still had the original Dump in your fenced yard at the side of your house.
You've got some good ideas that never occurred to me at the time. And possibly, in my mind, I think I've always viewed it more of a temporary, not permanent, set-up. Still working great, by the way. Thanks for the note.
Great job Buckwsr It can use a couple of improvements but you’ve already covered those. Thank you for inspiring and motivating DIYers. The USA is the greatest country on earth and millions of people flock here each year because of its greatness which comes from the FREEDOM we have here. It’s a shame that the PC crowd and socialist can’t see that. I wish all of my neighbors were like you. I wish you were my neighbor. Thank you for the videos. And thank you allowing and even inviting EVERYONE to practice free speech in your comment section whether they agree with you or not.
Thanks, Stephen. Your note made my day!!! I appreciate the support. Occasionally I will delete a comment due to rudeness or profanity. Otherwise, I welcome comments, and appreciate all who take the time to view my videos. Thanks again!
Give you a better answer to is it legal or is it not? That all depends on your area and the code to your area but most of the time if you have it hooked up to your septic tank as long as it does not get put in the wrong side of the septic tank and you have a vent still open for your septic tank you’ll be fine just check in your local areas code, but city sewage I would not recommend it
Without a pump, it can only flow one way...downhill.... But I am not familiar with sewage pumps, so I can't recommend anything. Thank you for watching the video.
I want to do this but with home septic tank. I’d like to know if there are any black water chemicals that are safe to flush into my septic. I don’t want to destroy the ecology of my home septic. If anyone has knowledge on this I’d very much appreciate it. Thanks!
People do what they need to do to get what they want for as long as they can without getting caught...and rationalize it... don't hate the playa - as they say
You shouldn’t have to explain anything that you decide to do on your property Friends, neighbors, Renters, anyone who decides to get into your business needs to be permanently rejected Some people are just not fit to be in some people circles I can’t rent to a person who remains in my business If they don’t know how to rent and have a life, they’ll be finding another place to live. It’s just simple simple Friends relatives again. They need to have a life in your life isn’t in my business, but if it is then they can go. I wouldn’t go down to the court office because you gave them a reason if you did, you gave them a reason to do an inspection To charge you some random shit Until someone goes down there and report you and someone else comes to try and do an inspection. There is nothing you need to be saying to anyone in the court building. It’s not admitting guilt it’s rejecting BS because that’s all you’re gonna run into when you go down there
And for all of those that says it’s illegal and that he is doing it because he knows that they’ll make him take it down for my experience. It’s easier to do it and ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.
Nice video, thanks. Regarding the controversy, rules/laws, and common sense: Mark 2:27 (KJV) And he said unto them,The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath.
@@Buckwsr Like you, I'm feeling okay with your setup. The county codes are in place to serve citizens and not the other way around.

Yes, thanks. Like I said, if necessary, I can have the whole thing dismantled in like 20 minutes.
Regulatory violations aren’t crimes. Good luck 👍
You own your home you own your rv nuff said other people have no say in what you do plus it's the same waste either in the house or rv the same people are using it don't worry buddy
Thank you, Mr. Mcboogerballs.
Right on brother, there's too much government in my life already. Don't tread on me.
This guy is the poster child for average American good common sense joe
Thank you....I think....
My hubby an I lived two years in our rv an was permanently hooked into our septic tanks while we built our home

Are very well spoken and informative. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with the rest of us.
Thank you so much.
Good answer! It’s none of their business.
Thank you for sharing your build. I'm curious on your thoughts regarding "Macerators" for RV waste removal.
Clear fittings on both ends would be nice. Great presentations. I have a septic system which would be more complicated.
Thanks for the note, Frank, and for viewing the video.
I run mine to the septic clean out.. Works great.

screw legality. do it anyway.

why don't you use a longer piece of pvc to hold your pipe up onto the edge of your door
You beat me to it
Or a custom made shorter hose...
That's what I was thinking heas talking about a board?
I live in my motorhome and i ran power water an my own drain the dumps io the sewer on my land
Use a small ladder step stool or table saw horse ect to hold it.
I agree with you

Has it ever clogged?
No, never. Still works great!
Black first, gray second …..cleans and flushes.
I do the same thing with my RV.
We want to do this .!!! But our pipe would go up a gradual slope . What would you suggest ! P.S . It’s no ones business what you do !!
Without a pump, it can only flow one way...downhill.... But I am not familiar with sewage pumps, so I can't recommend anything. Thank you for watching the video.
You will need a pump aka lift station. Unless you can raise up your rv somehow. Bring in dirt to make a hill? Not sure how much lower you are
Macerator or sewer solution or transfer tank
How do I know if the outlet from my Rv has right slope to go inground home septic? BEFORE I BUY ALL THE PVC AND CONNECTORS.
I have 100 feet to go.... almost completely straight run to inground septic on our septic field.
You only need a slight downhill slope...like 1/4 inch per 10 feet of distance.
I want to do this but with home septic tank. I’d like to know if there are any black water chemicals that are safe to flush into my septic. I don’t want to destroy the ecology of my home septic. If anyone has knowledge on this I’d very much appreciate it.
Thanks!
The only thing you need to know can u have someone live in it, or is it only used to store on your property.
People do what they need to do to get what they want for as long as they can without getting caught...and rationalize it... don't hate the playa - as they say
Thank you, Miss Ann, for watching my video and weighing in with your thoughts!
@Miss Ann Adven0ture: I think what he means about verifying anything @, city tall
Is it legal in Pennsylvania to rent an rv on a property and hook up to the residential sewage system??
Hi I’m thinking about doing what you just asked. Have you done it and did it work out for you?
No my landlord is letting some dude do it on the property I live on
in that case no its not legal since your renting out the property aswell
You shouldn’t have to explain anything that you decide to do on your property
Friends, neighbors, Renters, anyone who decides to get into your business needs to be permanently rejected
Some people are just not fit to be in some people circles
I can’t rent to a person who remains in my business
If they don’t know how to rent and have a life, they’ll be finding another place to live. It’s just simple simple
Friends relatives again. They need to have a life in your life isn’t in my business, but if it is then they can go.
I wouldn’t go down to the court office because you gave them a reason if you did, you gave them a reason to do an inspection
To charge you some random shit
Until someone goes down there and report you and someone else comes to try and do an inspection. There is nothing you need to be saying to anyone in the court building.
It’s not admitting guilt it’s rejecting BS because that’s all you’re gonna run into when you go down there
And for all of those that says it’s illegal and that he is doing it because he knows that they’ll make him take it down for my experience. It’s easier to do it and ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.
No victim, no crime. Victimless laws are generally lame. I can side with safety laws though.
U di t need all those pipes All u need is a macerator
Nice video, thanks. Regarding the controversy, rules/laws, and common sense: Mark 2:27 (KJV) And he said unto them,The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath.
Interesting. How exactly are you applying the Scripture verse to my sewer hook-up situation? Thanks.
