Convert Gray Water Pipe from 1 1/2" to 3"

Hello,
Our 13' Boler's gray water drain is a 1 1/2" PVC pipe. Right now we use a bucket to collect the water and dump it in the sewer when full, but I would prefer to have a more standard system, and it looks like all standard sewer hoses are 3" wide or larger. Any simple plumbing attachments out there to convert a 1 1/2" pipe (with threads on the inside) to a 3" pipe? Or any 1 1/2" sewer hoses available anywhere? Many thanks!

there are several types of adapters, you can go from 1-1/2 to 3/4 inch garden hose, or from 1-1/2 to 3 inch, then add a gate valve.

google: rv waste valves, and abs adapters.

Thanks a lot Joe. Will investigate the options. I never thought of going from a 1-1/2" to a 3/4" garden hose. That is probably the route I will take.

The only reason for 3" is to dump Black water, not Gray... There is an adapter to connect smaller hoses for gray water to an RV campground sewer fitting.
Amazon.com: Camco 39111 RV Easy Slip Grey Water Drain Adapter: Automotive

Then get an adapter for the outlet on the trailer to connect to a garden hose.
