I'm installing a sewer hookup on my property to be able to use my Airstream as a guest house when we're not on the road. I'm in New England and want to have it available year round, including grey water out.
I intend to use PVC pipe wrapped in heat tape and insulation for the run from the trailer to the inlet. I think this is common practice and I've had success with similar setups in the past.
My question comes with the design of end the sewer line I'm installing to connect to my septic system. Is it enough for the opening to be even with ground level as long as it immediately drops vertically below the frost line, say 3'?

Or should I have the pipe terminate below ground level in some sort of box which can be insulated?
