Rigid sewer connection

I am planning on having my TT at one location most of the time. Are there any recommendations on the best way to have a semi-permanent sewer hook up? I have been looking at the EZE Kleenex system and the Barker Swing Free system. Does anyone have experience with these or something like them? If so what are your thoughts? Thanks.

If you're going to be "permanent" on the site, I'd build a rigid PVC pipe using a twist on elbow to connect to the RV dump opening and install from there to the sewer dump.

If you're going to be "semi-permanent" on the site, I'd do the same thing, but also install another twist off connection after the elbow so you can remove the rigid pipe assembly without having to saw it in half.

Whatever you do, DON'T modify or remove the existing dump setup from the RV, adapt to and connect to what's there so you aren't "undoing" anything if you do decide to travel.....

If it's going to be "durable" and "trouble free" you need to completely eliminate any "spring wound flexible" sewer hose from the system. Eventually any of the "RV sewer hose" brands will either start leaking, split or get stepped on and rupture.

Total cost to do a 20' run shouldn't be more than about $20-30 with the 4-prong elbow, 3" (or 4") sewer pipe, elbow for the other end and a small can of PVC cement.

I have the EZE clean and it works well. I have it permanately attached. My hands never need to touch the messy stuff.

I bought a twist on adapter from Wal Mart cut it and it fit inside a standard adapter perfectly then used standard PVC for the rest with no glue and a reducer to go into the hole at the end.

Use more water in the black tank than you normally would and you shouldn't have any problems. I stuck a hose down our toilet and rinsed it good every couple of months

The EZE pipe looks interesting, can you change the length? When we were seasonal we had PVC and used a rubber piece to connect the pipe to the valve. Worked good.

The each EZE Pipe section telescopes in and out. I have enough sections that I can add to reach about 20 ft. It's wonderful. With it being permanently attached, I can have a sewer connection in about one minute.
