Question 90 degree sewer at campground

[Joe Hogan]

We are here at Kathryn Abbey Park in Jacksonville Florida. A city park, heavily wooded. Tight for a big rig but doable.
The sewer attachment is something we have not experienced before, a 90’ pvc pipe near the ground.
Somewhat of an issue using a SaniCon. A standard 90’ sewer connection for a standard hose would be no issue.

 

[Rich W.]

Is it glued or can you pop it off? Maybe it’s just there to keep rain water out.

 

[Joe Hogan]

These are at every site and appear to be glued. Most people are using a std 90 ‘ hose fitting. We struggled with the SaniCon.

 

[Jim]

But why? Unless it's to keep sand or small rocks from falling in and clogging the system?

 

[Joe Hogan]

Still trying to understand the advantages to this.

 

[Kevin D Pem]

My guess it is threaded! It would need to be turned to accommodate different RVs.

It would tickel me to find such an arrangement, a what flows down hill would still flow!

Make sure it is in fact your sewer connection. It may be for some other purpose such as a vent or something? Reminds me when someone at @Deer Springs RV Park dumped in the wrong pipe! @Jim was thrilled.

Verified with Camp Host. My first thought was that it was for something else.
Also verified that others had in fact plumbed waste tanks to similar looking pipes.
