5. Not real difficult

You connect a hose from the house for water and set up a plug,preferably 30 amp for power, then need a connection for the sewer line, to existing septic system, you can leave the grey water(sinks and shower)connection open but leave the black water(toilet) connection closed and only drain as necessary...use additives to both tanks to keep odors down and help digest sludge.. that is basics. Also may want to add a skirting around trailer to keep winds and such out of underneath...especially if a fifth wheel as the bedroom will be in the upper area...local ordinances will come into play... ie permits and inspections

That is basically it ..

(on edit) also probably want to take tires off and store them so they won't rot ...
