Unfortunately it was in our 4" sewer pipe, blocking a 'T' which caused a back up, flooding a common area( no campers affected) with raw sewage at an absorption field. Please everyone, do not put your waste hose into the drain any more than necessary, and always use a donut or disposal connector. Between me, staff, our backhoe, facility locator, rental of roto rooter, honey wagon cleanup, sterilization, cost was considerable, inconvienence even more so. Thanks to the many of you who know to use a wastewater seal, Please teach the others who do not.

Hard to imagine dropping your slinky down the hole. And losing it....That takes a special breed to perform that one.....

Geez, it could be mine.Could you please wash it off well and package it and ship it to me FEDEX next day air?I expect you to do this free in the name of customer relations.Also please enclose a certificate for one nights free camping for MY inconvenience as well as an apology for not building in safeguards to stop me from doing an idiotic thing.Thank you

May have been mine as well. Wife's apparently smells like roses, so if that fragrance is weeping from it, please send it my way.

I'm curious as to how this could happen assuming you are talking about a typical stinky slinky. Do your sewer connections have threads?

found a new lost 10' 3" waste hose today. Did you lose one

yes, of course, they are typical 4" PVC risers.

Not all RV's have the elbow or use it, they just stick the end of the hose down the pipe. Then they disconnect from RV to rinse, and it slips out of their hand while rinsing.

You should "spike" all your sewer connections. All you need to do is dig down about 6 inches along the side of each connection and put thin wire thru the middle of the PVC. The fancy way to do it is drill small holes and use stainless steel wire. The fast, easy way, (my way) is to run a 6 inch fencing screw across.
Waste will easily pass over the spike, however sewer hoses, connectors, tennis balls dropped in by children and the like will hang up. So will diapers, wash cloths and other assorted things people think can be flushed, but can't. Much easier to fish them out 6 inches into the pipe than from who knows where in the main lines.

And if you don't, we all will trash you on RV Park Reviews as being a grouch.

Ah, the never-a-dull-moment life you campground owners get to enjoy.
