Detaching sewer hose fitting
As my hands become more impacted by arthritis i have a greater struggle with the sewer hose fitting. I note a wrench is sold by rhino but i saw one very bad review. My solution has been to use a screw...

I have the Rino Wrench. I used to have another but lost it. The old one worked well but the new Rino one.. Not so pleased.
One option is a Tetford Sentenal hose.. Google it and you will see what is so good about this puppy.
Now what I do.. For the sewer outlet cap (You put on when moving) I use a block of wood and the heal of my nand more often than not to lock/unlock it
For the hose. Well I have enclosed plubming on my class A. NOTHING hangs below the RV. so I have a 5" Extension with a 45 Degree elbow (both clear plastic) Not only locked to it but glued on so it won't come off (Goop) This hooks to the RV.. My Tethford Smart Hose or other sewer hose (Depending on length needed) hooks to it.. Hooking up I first hook the hose to the adapters then insert the extension up through the portal and lock it on, it locks on easily due to the elbow.. Removal is the reverse.. First remove extrension then unlatch hose
The "Sentenal" has a long collar on the female end. makes it way easier to grip.
I have one of those too. not, yet, used.
For the sewer cap I put on one that has a handle on it shaped like a pull handle. Bought it on Amazon and just replaced the original one. Works a treat. For the sewer connections I also use some spray silicone now and then. Also works a treat. Makes screwing into sewer dumps much easier.
