Sewer connections on R178

We did the long valterra, made brackets from some angle iron. The rhino will fit in the valterra, but it's fittings needed to be modified. That tube will accomodate all the fittings and our clear section, which is straight.

Charlie, I just took my 64" Valterra out of its box.  The actual end-to-end length is a true 64 inches.  Mounting hole spacing is 63 inches and the ID is 4 3/8 inches. It is on sale at Camping World in your choice of black or white for a little over $35 and is stocked in most of their stores.  Hope this answers some of the questions.

There has been a picture and post over on the FB showing a double drain setup.  I think they are implying that they keep the drains open, but not sure.  I'd be concerned about people tripping over the drain pipes and other potential damage from leaving the setup out.  I'd agree that you shouldn't keep the black water drain open.  Keeping the black water open would allow some clumping to occur and it will sit and solidify. You want a wet environment to keep items from settling.

 An addition to what Charlie said, you don't have to keep the gray tank closed until it fills since it will fill in just a few showers and the black tank can last more than half a week.  I keep mine open until I know I'll need to dump the black tank, then close the gray tank to accumulate a morning's round of showers, then dump the black.  Leaving the black closed again and the gray open.

Edit: corrected

Bob, what hose system do you use?? I could see getting the Rhino as it's supposed to fit in the one that comes with the camper and then get the supplemental tube to hold extensions. Is that what you do??
