That would be the easiest. Contact Jayco they should be able to give you the plumbing diagram. They helped me a lot when I had my Jayco. Thor like I have now has a website where owners can download everything on their rv

They do make a no hub cap.

Just stick a 4 inch or so piece of pipe with a cap in the end of the no hub and your done. Use some plastic or perforated metal hanger to temporarily hold it up

When you glue plastic pipe together, use cleaner on both sides and then put glue on it. HOLD IT TOGETHER for about 20 seconds it will try to push itself apart. I have never had a leak. You can pre fit everything before glueing. My motorhome came with everything leaking from my fresh water tank the elbow and shut off valve. I replaced the plastic shut off with a brass ball valve. I used pvc threaded fittings so I can just unscrew the valve to replace if needed

this is why I look at my neighboring rv's when camping. I'm not shy about asking for a different site. It's also why it's illegal to diy plumb according to every building code in the US. I don't care it's a trailer, it's still sanitation. If you aren't going to do it correctly, why do it at all?

You can diy plumb in some municipalities as long as it's not for hire, in many it has to be inspected however and that means plumbed to code. Back a hundred years ago when we ran cast iron pipe and kept a lead pot on the fire or you had to sweat copper it wasn't so easy as today and virtually no one did their own work. With pvc, abs, shark bite fittings and pex, everybody is a plumber, some better than others.

I buy and rehab single family homes for rental..... post war 1948-1960 vintage. I've seen just about every DIY junk remodel/repair there can be in 75 year old homes from gluing wood panels to basement concrete block(full of mold..black, yellow and red!) to open end plumbing stacks buried inside of walls (what's that smell? It only shows up when I do laundry). I doubt that many who do their own plumbing know why you use a T instead of a Wye. There's a reason why plumbers are the second highest paid trade....right behind electricians.
