Black Tank Removal

Hi, I'm new here. My outback fifth wheel was bought to live in full time. It's sitting on family owned property where a mobile home was before. So I have electric, water, and septic tank. I want to remove the black Tank and hook into the septic tank permanently and put in a residential toilet. Space for the toilet is no problem. Just need to know how to access and remove the black Tank. Thank you!

What are you going to do with the other waste water tanks and the plumbing for them?

Just remove the old RV toilet and bore a hole through the black tank and out the bottom. Install a new residential toilet flange and plumb through the hole. All gray tanks can be connected to the common (main) drain. I hope you are doing this in a no freeze zone.

Common plumbing practices will require venting, clean-outs, and no tight 90"s

Would it not be easier to just remove the tank, instead of boring holes thru it?

I would assume the waste water would tie into the sewer pipe and go into the septic, just as a home set up does.

The shower and sinks drain into gray tanks which are separate from the black tank. Sometimes there are two gray tanks.
