Muddy,
Now, play mix and match with the known needed parts and make the requisite three trips to the store to return some and buy the parts you actually need and glue is all together.

Three trips seem to be the magic number for many projects, although when it comes to plumbing it often turns into more. Nothing more frustrating than having to stop & go back to the store a few more times turning a two hour project into 4-5 hours. I have revised my plan of attach for plumbing projects. I now buy most every conceivable part that would ever be needed for my project & simply make the second trip to the store to "return" what wasn't used. :B
I usually buy a ton of stuff as well but still seem to have to make a couple trips then the return stuff trip. They sell most the stuff at the place I store my rig although they want a few more $ then the local hardware supply. I will purchase what I think I need from the hardware store and hopefully pick up an item or two I may need from the storage yard repair shop.
Bending down is no problem I just hate getting on my knees when the dump station is wet because I am never sure why its wet. Its just a poor design from the factory, theres no reason they stopped short and didn't bring the end out another couple feet.
