I asked my husband about making a ramp for the sewage line when we set up the RV but he said it was fine. Well I thought he knew more than me since he is a maintenance man and was in construction for years. Well everyone loves to tease me I have the nose of a bloodhound and I have a sensitive stomach so smells get to me. To top it off I have bipolar 1 with psychosis and tend to smell thing that aren't there so for the last month while I'm smelling this wretched smell in the back of the RV everyone is saying it's in my head.
I'm telling you I know my nose and I was right the smell was there. Yesterday we were cleaning outside the RV and my husband moved the sewage line and alas it was backing up. I am a very happy camper now and the smell is gone and I'm here to tell you to make sure you ramp you sewage line.
You don't have to buy one of those expensive RV sewage ramps either. I've learned a lot looking at others in the park. Some use a inclined board, some use graduation blocks of wood or concrete but the most impressive is the use of PVC pipe. They just run their sewage line down through it and it's protects it from the weed eaters too.
We used what we had lying around and it's perfect because our RV is close to the connecting pipe in the ground. My husband took my unused stepper, you know the ones from the 90's when people did step aerobics. Then he leaned it between the RV and the pipe and placed the sewage line on top. Plus the rubber non skid top stops it from sliding off. Cost: FREE the cost of the RV sewage ramp: $20 but lesson learned.
