Question Solid pipe connection to gray and black tanks

[Phie1951]

We are fairly new to RVing and have noticed several things in some of the parks we've stayed in. One, specifically, is folks having their gray and black tanks hooked up with PVC pipe. After further investigation, these folks were extended-stay. We are getting ready to do this for 6 to 8 months and first, what are your thoughts on this and second, do they make fitting for this type of connection?
I appreciate your thoughts
Thanks, Phil

They make repair sleeves that can hold it together.

What I have seen most do is get a female drain hose fitting and then use a rubber coupling to connect the fitting to the pvc pipe and a screw in adapter for the hook up to the sewer system. Are you planning on staying in one spot for 6 to eight months? Personally, I would just use a standard sewer hose and some kind of support.

Thank you Gronk. We've decided that would be best too

Just this year we had our black tank removed and a regular flush type toilet installed.
Our gray tank is still intact and it's vent is also used for the black water piping.
We have solid pipe going to the original valves from both the gray and the new toilet.
Our original flex hose is connected to the outlet side of the valve which in turn goes to the sewer.
I could have opted and have the parts to use rigid pipe from the valves to the sewer, but I liked the option of the flex in case there is a clog.
Both the gray and black valves are left open all the time. If the black was left closed, I would not be a happy camper since after a flush, it would back up into the toilet. Also if the gray was left closed the black would flush slower since it would not be vented.
As snow birds living here for eight months I should have done it a long time ago. We are very happy with the residential toilet and no longer need to use chemicals
When we leave in the spring, I'll leave both valves closed to prevent any nasties coming up through the toilet or the gray water system.
Cost for the whole nine yards including the new toilet was $800.
