Gliddenwoods Posted February 22 Posted February 22 I recently purchased a couple Blu Technology Stainless Universal Hoses with quick release fittings as recommended by other Campers. I like the hoses because when not in use, and in storage, they take far less storage space than other hoses. However, when the hoses are not attached and the quick release fittings remain on my Oliver there is no cover for the fitting opening and the Oliver provided cover does not fit thus road dirt will be a problem. Any other Oliver owners with the same Blu Technology hose quick release fitting have a cover solution?

Steve and MA Posted February 23 Posted February 23 Why not get another quick connector and thread it on to the plastic plug that was previously used to cover the water port? Steve & Mary Allyn San Antonio, TX 2022 LE II Hull #969 "Un Œuf", 2021 MB Sprinter 3500 "Polly"

Coddiwomple Posted February 23 Posted February 23 We have Eley quick connects and contacted them directly. They recommended some covers (along with part numbers) from McMaster-Carr that fit perfectly for both male and female parts. Only problem is that you have to buy a bag full of them. So, you might try contacting Blu T support. With all that said, what works really well for us now is a 2" wide roll of blue painters tape to cover the outlets when traveling to protect from road grime.
