LOW black tank pipe

[Marylane11]

My black tank pipe on my Laredo drops very low and toward ground.
Can anyone suggest best way to connect it to rv sewer tank

Get a 45 degree angle connection and install it sideways. That puts your sewer hose going to the side instead of down. Get one with a water hose connection on it. Works great to spray water back up into the black tank if you ever plug it up.

A year and model number would help, a picture even more so. Clear fitting gs are available in 45° and 90° angles. We had a Forrest River Surveyor that gave me a fit at some sites as the fitting in the ground was too high to empty the hose. I ended up buying a macerator pump and that made life much simpler. No more sewer hose curles exercises.

I had that same fitting, but depending on the number of 90 degree fittings in the drain lines you won't get much rinse, if any, into any of the tanks. Which was the situation on my last 5er, it did a great job of rinsing the hose & about foot back into the drain line before the 1st of 3 90 degree fittings.

That’s really unusual for a black tank. Most of them are pretty direct. Even with bends in the plumbing, back pressure from the exit end can help dislodge items that could be plugging the tank.

I agree for me I also have three 90 degree elbows before coming into the side of the tank. The first 90 degree out of the tank is actually a “Y” fitting the other side goes my to the grey tank.

Mine has one 90 degree elbow as well, the water still sprays into it. I’ve plugged the black tank before and was able to dislodge whatever was there by spraying the water back up. Obviously it’s not a direct shot, but the spray still follows the pipe.
