    Campground Site Terms: Left Side Hookups and Single Drop

    I've been camping for 35 years, why do I not know what site description lists “left side hookups” and “Single Drop” mean. I have an idea but I’m not sure. Can somebody explain please?

    Best RV Hose, Cord, and Adapter Lengths for a New 175BH

    I'm a newbie here and am in the process of purchasing a 175BH. I now need to add hookup gear such as a water pressure regulator, surge suppressor, cables and hoses. I don't want to carry more than I need and see there are lots of different lengths available for the hoses and cables. I'm not...

    Best Fixes for Broken Sewer Hose Storage Caps on 5th Wheels

    I have a 5th wheel camper where the sewer hose storage is underneath the camper. The plastic caps to keep the hose in have both broken off. Anyone have a good fix for this. I’m thinking of just an expandable sewer stop as a cure

    Best Options for Sewer Hose Storage on Jayco Melbourne Prestige

    My 24ft. Melbourne Prestige doesn't have a bumper. Wondering where I can add outside sewer hose storage. I currently have to put it in the back storage bin but would like to keep it separate. Could I run a tube under the carriage? Thoughts?

    Eliminating Sewer Odors in Cedar Creek Destination Trailer: Venting Solutions

    How would you go about venting this permanent sewer so that I can get rid of nasty smells in my cedar creek destination trailer? There are no air admittance valves installed in this. I think forest river did away with them, at least on this 2024 model. OR would it be a better idea to put a...

    Essential Water and Sewer Gear for Outfitting a New RV

    Hello all Looking for a suggested list of the basic gear we need to have for our rv as far as water and sewer lines and hose. Other than a detachable spray hose our RV came with no additional hoses. I'm seeing that Rhino brand seems to be pretty popular. What various pieces and parts do we...

    Best Gloves for RV Sewer Dumping: Nitrile, Rubber, or Bare Hands?

    I've seen videos of guys wearing rubber gloves with large long cuffs when dumping their sewer lines. Can someone give me a head start on where to find those kind of gloves?

    Choosing an RV Sewer Hose and Length

    What brand of sewer hose do you recommend? There are many to choose from. I think two 10-foot sections that can be coupled if necessary seem best.

    Hidden Rear Dump Valve on 2016 Laredo 28BH

    I recently acquired a 2016 Laredo 28BH and I am a bit confused about the rear tank dump piping. The unit has 2 dump locations: One 3” with a valve in front of the axles and the second one is a 3” without a valve that has a 1 1/2” with a valve that ties into it. I’m trying to understand why the...

    Stowing a Sewer Hose on a BT 5230

    Extending a Sanicon Sewer Hose

    So while I am still on the bubble about the sanicon system versus gravity draining (don't want a debate on that please), I want to give it a try for a while. So I do find that the hose is short from time to time. What is the best way to extend the hose? I am assuming using an adapter at the...

    Sewer hose.

    So I have 2020 Thor ACE 33.1. I was wondering what ya'll do with your sewer hose. I don't have one on the bumper and I hate storing in the area where the shower wand is and the Grey and black dump. I think that is a poor design. I've looked underneath and I see nowhere to mount a cady. Was just...

    Sewer hose

    02 Roadtrek, no macerator, regular dump hose. In the middle of finishing a couple projects and the dump hose has a pinhole leak in it. Started poking around the internet and realized the Roadtrek is a different setup for hose storage. So the ultra heavy duty hoses might not be the right...

    Sewer hose very hard to remove.

    My rig has two drain ports, one front, one rear. Both are really tight for connecting / removing drain hoses. I have to use a strap wrench to take the caps off and sometimes to remove the sewer hose. I think it is because the drain connections on the trailer are slightly too thick from the...

    What temp will a sewer hose freeze?

    There’s a weather anomaly here for that started today and will last until Tuesday morning. It’ll be about 20 degrees lower than normal for this time of year and the overnight low is 25 degrees tonight and tomorrow night. I’ve got the heated freshwater hose and I’m letting a faucet drip but I’m...

    What is this on our roof?

    We were checking vents on our roof as we were getting a sewer-like odor and found this one. Any idea what it is? When we unscrewed the cover and went to look further and removed the nut, the bolt fell down into who-knows-where. The earlier mentioned odor seems to have a connection to our using...

    Is the Drainmaster Always-Connected Sewer Hose Worth the Upgrade?

    Finished this up a bit ago and finally got to use it on our last trip. Relatively expensive but its great. I would do it again in a heartbeat, easier, cleaner, and faster. No more digging out the hose and hooking it up to dump or putting a dripping hose back into the tube. And the hose is so...

    Suggestions on sewer hoses

    For the past 20 years, I've used the Presto-Fit sewer hoses with great results. They seemed to really last and usually I only replaced them out of fear they were getting old and 'might' fail. This year was one of those times but unfortunately the no longer appear available (nothing lasts...

    Pro-Rver sewer fitting

    This looks pretty slick has anyone used this? It looks easier then getting the bayonet fitting on and off (I don’t have a lot of grip strength in my wrists) https://www.amazon.com/PRO-RVER-FULL-Sewer-Hose-Connector/dp/B0FM2684P6

    Solving RV Sewer Smells: S-Trap, P-Trap, and Waterless P-Trap Solutions

    Sewer smell in RVs is a pretty common complaint. If it hasn't happened to you yet, it will eventually. Here's some information that will help you understand what's going on.

    Sewer hose storage

    I went to dump my tanks (second time ever) and when I opened the tube, the hose was 3' in from the end. Thankfully the other end of the tube also has a removable cover, but I had to lay down on the ground and crawl under the trailer to reach it. On our motorhome (not AS) the sewer hose storage...

    Sewer dump hose storage for 2016 Minnie Winnie 22R

    Currently I have my "dirty water" hose double bagged and kept in my rear storage bay. I'd really rather not do that! I've been told that it should fit into my rear bumper? There is no way that I can see the dirty water hose is going to fit into the opening of the rear bumper. Any other options...
