I have the same adapter that Outbound posted. Love it, the threaded part fits any size connection, great for a good seal when you have full hookups at a site. As Outbound said using just the elbow at the dump site works well.

Bought one of the suggested elbows today at Wal-Mart. We had a straight one that fit down in the sewer, but did not have the elbow bend in it. I want something that easies the hose out of that bend IT has to make unless the elbow bend is already there.
Also The supports that are used under the hose if you are going to be someplace for a while. Pretty expensive. Any other suggestions on how to do the same thing?
I know to dump only when the holding tanks reach 3/4 full. Does a support that is highter at the end nearest the trailer and graduated down to the sewer end make any sense?
Any information on that will be very welcomed.
Thanks

A Slunky can be had pretty cheap. But, I'd only bother with one for a 20' run. Otherwise, I'd just leave it lying on the ground. Dump like you would at a dumpstation: black tank first, followed by grey. Try to make sure that both are 3/4 full before you dump.

I let mine lay on the ground. I'm right there when the black tank is dumped so once I hear it is done I'll move the last of the water along like an inchworm, then do the gray tank and do the inchworm thing again.
I leave the gray tank's valve open all the time until the black tank is ready to be dumped, then I'll close the valve to get a shower or two's worth of water in the gray tank. Then do the black, then gray, and leave the gray open again.

Thank you for fast come back.
I looked at the Slunky, it is a good bit cheaper than the other 2 I saw at Walmart.
Thanks Outbound
Techntrek- so you keep the grey water flowing, holding back that black until it becomes necessary to dump, get several showers and some dish washing too. Will try all of that.
Thanks

If you're buying a sewer hose support, make sure to measure your r-pod's sewer height first. The r-pod sits very low (even with risers) and you don't want to waste money on a sewer hose support that's higher than your sewer outlet.
