RV Sewer Hookups

[CvlEngr123]

I am currently looking at designing an RV parking layout with all the services including sanitary sewer cleanouts for each RV space. Does anyone know of any special design regarding the cleanouts? I am thinking of just adding 4" cleanouts using wye and bends over to a sevice line and then onto a sewer main. My concern is the gas that might be coming out of the pipe when the cleanout is being used. I am not sure whether or not they use a fitting on the end of the RV waste hose that connects to the cleanout that may create a seal between the waste hose and the cleanout. Someone suggested the use of P-traps, but that would be a maintenance nightmare. I would appreciate any input regarding this.

Not sure what your concern is - odor? Yeah there may be a little, but it is a sewer cleanout. There's probably some odor near a sewer manhole too.

I am currently in the same boat, looking for answers about RV dump connections, traps under the hook ups, etc. Could you point me to a helpful place to look?
