Yes it will, the vertical climb over that 75 ft will affect the time but it should be an issue unless it is over 9 ft of elevation increase. Make sure to use a good large diameter hose. Usually 5/8th will do the trick!

This will make things so much easier for us to not have to worry about dumping the RV if we keep it at the house for a bit.

I have just found your site and am so thankful. We are new RV owners and need all the help and suggestions we can get!

Thank you!!

its that easy.. We’ll as long as your plumbing is healthy at your house and your toilet isnt prone to clogging.. I recomment also inserting the hose about 10 inches into the toilet past the first vapor trap. That will keep the odor way down as the water in the toilet will act as a vapor barrier. Just holding the hose above water would “not be advisable” … Other than that yes it will work like a charm. Your toilet is really just a big bowl with a u trap that uses water to keep the sewer gases out of your house while also using fresh water to make the entire experience a bit more “pleasant”. Other than that its really just a hole in the ground running to the sewer…

My question is dumping directly into the toilet with the small hose. I know you can flush a toilet by dumping a bucket of water into it. I hope this doesn’t sound stupid, but just want to double check that the toilet will drain (flush?) with the hose emptying tens of gallons into it. Is is really that easy?
