Has anyone used these Camco wrenches? I have a lot of difficulty with the couplings due to a hand problem. They are designed for Rhino-Flex, which I see has identical tabs on both the male and female fittings. My Valterra fittings only have tabs like that on one half. But it is the half that is harder for me to grip. Anyone?This one could be useful for the CG fitting?

I've got the second one, and it works well when I can't get the campground sewer undone by hand.

rubber band wrench... 2 sizes... Sears and other tool stores..http://c.shld.net/rpx/i/s/i/spin/image/spin_prod_883664312?hei=444&wid=444&op_sharpen=1

Chuck, that was my first thought. I have those Sears wrenches. I tried the larger one yesterday, and it was useless for me. Not because of my hand. Because it was going over the tabs on the fitting, it just would not stay in place. If I got it to stay, it would slip. After a few minutes of that, I knew I'd have to buy a made-for wrench.

We have this....very easy to attach. Uses "cam" fittings rather than twist fittings. Watch the video in the link.Waste Master...LINK

I use a slip joint oil filter wrench, very sturdy and cost less than $10

May be a problem........

Watch the video.

Once you cut the tabs, you're "done" for going back to twist type
without replacement of the 3" connection on the sewer pipe..:(

Of course, it's "whatever rings YOUR chimes" - or...drains your tank..:W

Turns out it is for some big old obsolete size. I had to send it back.

I'll probably switch to the Rhino Flex hose and fittings, and get their wrenches if I need them.

Yup, use them both. They do the job and make it a LOT easier for this old...guy.

Snowman - I use both "wrenches" that you have posted as I have the Rhino Flex fittings and they are tight. I also carry a strap wrench just in case I need it . With small hands, it is difficult for me to get a good grip, especially while wearing gloves or if there is moisture on the hose fittings. The wrenches are one of the best investments I have made.

I have This one. Works great with female bayonet fittings with the 2 flat tabs. If needed I use a rubber strap wrench on the male half at the same time.
