This has been on my list of mods for a while and I finally got around to installing a semi permanent sewer hose system. I purchased the hose and storage box on E bay this past winter from an RV parts supplier for about the price of just what the hose sells for currently so I couldn't pass it up. This system allows me to leave the hose permanently attached (can be taken off) and has a clear view on the business end along with a open/close valve. This may be one of the best mods I did this year hopefully. I can't find the link to the original page that showed the install instructions but it was on the drainmaster website.

Apparently the uploads didn't work, I'll have to figure it out later.Dan

Keep valves open or closed? That is the question. Certainly the black valve should be closed but I sometimes cheat and leave the shower valve open until I need the water flow to clean out the hose.

I guess the main advantage is you don't have to connect and disconnect your sewer hose. It's pretty much self contained. Tonight when I have more time I will try to figure out how to post pictures and post a link to the manufactures website Dan

Looks like too many image/img statements. Link should start with img and end with /img.That i36 in the link may also be a problem. Did you do that from a mobile device?

Thank you so much. You saved me a lot of frustration figuring that out.

Now if I can figure out how to load a PDF file, there's an excellent pictorial of the install process that I used that I found online but can no longer be found .

That thing sure looks like it came out of a science fiction move... wow! I think I can understand how this works. But what happens if you need a longer hose? No two campsites, let along campgrounds, are the same. We've been to several where the dump is at the rear of the campsite, not beside it. Sometimes, it's taken every bit of 45 feet or more to reach dump valve on the camper to sewer connection in the ground? What happens when you run into that situation?

It appears that opposite of the handle the donut can be removed and additional hose installed. Just a guess.
