Dynasty sewer hose "kit" recommendations for newbie.
Hi all, I'm sure this isn't a very Monaco-specific question, but I'm looking at sewer hose fittings to get set up in advance of our first outing in the rig.
The coach came with a sewer hose in the storage tube just aft of the tank dump compartment, but no other fittings. And I don't know what all I need for an 'average' campsite.
I don't think the hose storage tube is big enough to take a dump hose with fitting attached, so do I want to buy hose adapters and a hose, as opposed to a hose and fittings kit with bayonet fittings on each end of the hose?
Dump valve adapter: The bayonet fitting on the dump valve assy rotates up to come out more horizontal or down to about 45 deg, so I'm thinking a 45 deg bayonet fitting may be the most direct fitting to drop the hose down through the aperture in the compartment floor. For example, "Camco 39432 C-Do 2 Clear 45 Degree Hose Adapter Sewer Fitting".
Then a new hose: What's the best 'default' length to have on board?
Sewer end: I assume the end can't just hang down into an opening, so I need some sewer end adapter? Like "Camco 39144 Easy Slip Elbow and 4-in-1 Adapter"?
Thanks for entertaining my newbie questions...
Walter

Use the Blue Line press together fittings, they will go in the tube. Have used them for yours on our '00 and '02 DSDP's. I also got a 45° fitting to drop down, then connect the hose from underneath. I carry a 15' and a 10' extension.
With the present rig I also have a SaniCon pump with 2 - 20' hoses. Haven't found a sewer yet that couldn't be reached.

Thanks. Just the kind of specific shopping list I'm looking for!

Welcome to the Dynasty "club"!!
All RVs use the same sewer hose connections but yours may need the 45 that you speak of. We have a 03 Dynasty Countess III and I am fairly sure they have the same compartment setup. I do not use a 45 as the hose has enough flex to gt through the hole.
While you can mess with just purchasing ends for the hose you have, you need to check that hose for age as it could be aged out and the first time you dump the black tank you could be standing it a mess!
I use the Rhion Flex hoses and really like them as they seem to last longer.

Thanks! Loving the Dynasty so far... We went to the Houston RV show last weekend, and the only rigs that gave us RV-envy were >$400k!
I went ahead and ordered the blue-line setup and a 45deg clear elbow. I'll just pitch the old hose that came with the rig; I can imagine it splitting first time I try and use it and really spoiling my day....

I was pleased with the performance of my rhino (6 years full time use) so when did it again on replacement. Found that first I couldn't get a 15 ft length without getting the 'kit', then that the new design won't fit in my storage tube and finally I initally got some leakage around the fittings. Maybe just needed to get the seal lubed - seems to be ok now.

You may want to add a rubber sewer ring to your kit. I hadn't needed one until this this year, then I needed it twice. It sits in a ground pipe that doesn't have the threaded connector. I had to use duct tape!
