I am going to put a bathroom with flush toilet and shower in a camper. I can do the plumbing just like a house with 3" PVC pipe at the toilet but I don't know how the drain pipe connects to the camp ground sewer?
The last camp ground we were at had a 3" threaded cap on the sewer at the camp site. How do I connect the 3" PVC pipe of the camper to the 3" hole at the camp ground?

You mean a real flush toilet, like from a house? Gonna take a whole lot of water to get everything through the hose to the sewer hookup...

Camper world sells a flush toilets with a valve in the bottom and a foot peddle. You pee or take a crap in it then push the foot peddle it squirts a cup of water in the toilet as the flapper valve opens then a turd falls out of the toilet. I have been using a 5 gallon bucket under the camper to catch the goodies that fall out of the toilet.

A cup of water won't be nearly enough to flush everything down the sewer hose. You'll end up with a very nasty hose. Sewer hookups are meant to be used to dump a well-filled tank with a whole lot of water in it so it all goes down the pipe at once, not to be kept open constantly. Think of your house, how much water it takes to flush through a smooth sewer pipe. Those accordion sewer hoses for campers are harder to flush through because of the accordion folds.
As I understand it, normally people dump their black tank, then close the outer valve and open the grey water tank drain so that the grey water goes up the black tank pipe and rinses it. Then the outer valve is opened again to drain the grey water to rinse out the sewer hose.
I don't see a way for it to work, using a sewer hookup without a tank, unless you pour gallons of water into the toilet.

Do not forget that you need a P Trap for the shower and sink. The toilet has it's own valve so that odor does not come back in.
