Well, my first time emptying the tanks on this RV, new Rino hose, tight connection, it appeared to be a good seal but it leaked like crazy right into the water service area. What a mess. I can’t tell if the new hose was faulty as the connection seemed tight. The manual states that there is a swivel on the valve and pipe but I am not seeing anything like that and the angle of the hose is almost 90 degrees from the connection to the bottom of the compartment. Very frustrated, would love to see a picture of a like RV dump valve area as I suspect I am missing a piece even though the connection “mates”.Pardon the subject, just couldn’t help myself.

Sorry to hear of your problem and seeing as I use a Sewer Solution 99% of the time, I no longer have recent experience with the hoses you're using.That said, when I DO dump the tanks with the stinky slinky, I always pull the gray tank first, make sure there are no leaks and upon verifying that, I close the gray tank and open the black tank valve. Then when the black tank is emptied, I close the black tank valve and I drain the rest of the gray tank. Yes, I've had times when everything looked good yet the hose still leaked and I found it's much better to work on if there's gray water involved instead of black water.Good Luck,~Rick

in some configurations it's helpful to add a 45 or 90 deg clear elbow. Not only will this possibly get the right angle, but allows you to see when your tanks are clean when flushing them. As far as sealing, if it's clicked into the little bayonet tabs, it should seal, otherwise you have a faulty hose.

With the Rhino, the hose screws onto the connector and then locks into place with a locking ring. If you did not check it, I would.See the following video at about 2:20:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJD5HONh31U

Once clicked, I’ve never seen a leak at the connection.

Thanks, it was locked into place of that I am positive. It I am not missing a piece on the coach which is doubtful, the hose has to be faulty. I will take a bit of pleasure in sending it back.
