GraniteStaters Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 We decided to replace our sewer hose with a Lippert Cam Lock version. They are expensive but have a nice design that includes a smooth interior and that improves flow. I used the honey pot option so I wouldn’t have to modify the interlocking connection on the Oliver. I purchased the primary hose, a coupler, and the honey pot cable for the same functionality. I also received an adapter that can be used to permanently modify the Oliver, but don’t anticipate ever using it. I did purchase the hose adapter to convert the honey pot hose to allow a garden hose connection as we only dump grey water and want to be able to dump to a container for longer stays where we don’t have sewer hookups at the campsite. I have attached a video. IMG_0349.mov 1 6 David Caswell and Paula Saltmarsh Hull 509 "The Swallow" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View of waste hose connected; allows for rear bumper to be closed. However, I usually keep an end cap fitted with a hose for gray water management; the hose has a valve at its’ terminus. Another benefit, the clear silicone hose serves as a sight glass in the event of a black tank valve leak.

GraniteStaters Posted August 1 Author Share Posted August 1 (edited) Not sure what you mean, but here is what I have seen on the Lippert and my original hose. If there is any water in it and I stretch out the hose I create negative pressure. On the Lippert, when I stretch the hose to its entire length, the vacuum was so pronounced to cause the beginning of the hose to collapse. It was the downward leg of the connection and was laying against the bumper which probably contributed to the collapse.

Crack the hose terminal valve open a bit to relieve the internal pressure to prevent collapsing, makes deployment to required length much easier. 2020 OLEll, Twin, 579 2012 Silverado 1500 4x4 No installed solar, Renogy 40A DC-DC charger, 460Ah LFP battery bank/Victron SmartShunt, Hughes Autoformer, dual Lagun tables Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronbrink Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 15 hours ago, Geronimo John said: how do you get a smooth bore hose from a collapsing hose? Firstly, if the hose is collapsing there must be an extremely tight system to ensure no leakage. Secondly, there is a measure to prevent collapsing when deploying. Thirdly, the coils are on the outside, which makes for a smoother inside. This is a costly setup, but 1) the coils are rigid enough to hold shape when stowed and deployed, no frustrating snaking around, 2) a 5.5’ section will expand to 20’, 3) the 90° end nozzle has a valve handle to better manage the dump process, and 4) the cam lock will not loosen or come off during deployment and/or use as will the typical bayonet style if care is not taken, think accidental unintended release…..oops! 2020 OLEll, Twin, 579 2012 Silverado 1500 4x4 No installed solar, Renogy 40A DC-DC charger, 460Ah LFP battery bank/Victron SmartShunt, Hughes Autoformer, dual Lagun tables Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first pic is a 20’ section (when extended) of RhinoExtreme sewer hose, very difficult to stow since it bulges out (snakes) when attempting to contain in the rear bumper compartment. The second pic is the same extended length of Waste Master sewer hose, much more manageable! And yes, the nozzle end can be rotated to position the valve handle facing upward, thus allowing it to easily pass through the notched (wider) opening at the compartment end. Also shown is the gray water hose with end valve. 1 2020 OLEll, Twin, 579 2012 Silverado 1500 4x4 No installed solar, Renogy 40A DC-DC charger, 460Ah LFP battery bank/Victron SmartShunt, Hughes Autoformer, dual Lagun tables Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I can notch mine as shown in your pics and be done with that added hassle. 2010 Elite II, Hull #45. 2014 Toyota Sequoia Platinum 4WD 5.7 with tow package.

Mine came notched on both sides; driver side benefits the sewer hose hookup, passenger side the propane quick connect and now the hose nozzle as well. 2 2020 OLEll, Twin, 579 2012 Silverado 1500 4x4 No installed solar, Renogy 40A DC-DC charger, 460Ah LFP battery bank/Victron SmartShunt, Hughes Autoformer, dual Lagun tables Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be quite a pain! Mine is like yours. I leave my hose attached. Not interested in a fancy hose. I cut the round elbow end, that goes into the dump, flat so that it fits behind the bumper. Quick and easy at the dump station. When we get home from a trip, I rinse with the garden hose and put it back in place. 1 Chris & John in Prescott, AZ | 2016 EII #113 | '01 Ram 2500 Cummins!
