Made it 10 years without this happening

Yep. The ghost of happy camping reared its ugly head at me while dumping the black tank. I pulled the blade valve and while the family history was flowing into the sewer, the hose came off at the coupling and began spilling onto the ground. I quickly closed the valve but the damage was done. I moved the MH forward, got the hose and began flooding the waste into the recessed funnel in the concrete where the dump hose goes.
The hose clamp just was not tight enough and it came off from the weight and force of the material. Now I'm looking to replace the coupling/hose with another type not of the same design. Perhaps a hose with the coupling all one piece. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Not rocket science here, Just do a good inspection on the hose clamps (tighten)now and then. Good thing the dump had a recessed drain. I've seen people dump openly in the basin area before with out putting the hose in the drain. So don't be to hard on yourself. :)
  • I hope we never get the 10 year "surprise."

    At least you had the courtesy to clean up the mess...I watched it happen once and the guy just drove off. (with me yelling at him and him birding me).

    RhinoFlex is a really good sewer hose system.
