Winnebago sewer outlet

OK, here's a pic I had:

The black tank and grey tank outlets are solid, and one piece past the gates. The bottom of the outlet sits right against the movable door on the bottom. So if you can straight off the outlet, it will hit the lip of the compartment. The distance between the front of the outlet and the inside edge of the compartment lip is too small to fit an elbow and it's smaller than the diameter of a typical flex pipe.

So I can force a flex pipe from underneath and connect it, or go over the compartment lip and connect (there will be a hump in the hose that will hold some fluid) but either way it seems that the connection always leaks. The mating surface of the outlook appears to be smooth and I don't see any burrs, cracks etc... Tried new seals and doubling up on seals too...

Can you post a picture. All the Winnebagos I've seen have a rotateable dump. Haven't seen many as old as yours though.

Nope, mine's fixed. You have a winnebago ?

I use a clear 45 degree elbow on ours. Serves two purposes....easier to connect the sewer hose during setup and allows for a visual inspection of the waste water during dumping and washing out the tanks. I believe I bought the connector at Camping World. For a tight fit I purchased a sheet of gasket material (rubber) from an auto supply store and cut out my own gasket to fit between the fittings. More of an insurance policy than anything else but so far it has never leaked.

I've tried a basic 90 elbow ( have a clear one with a clean out too) but there's just not enough room between the outlet and the edge of the compartment for it.
