I'm wondering if anyone has seen an end-cap for the EZ pivot that would allow you to attach a water hose. This would allow us to drain the gray water tank without bothering to move our rig 50' to the campground dump station. I've seen these before but the one's I saw had the bayonet (?) type connector, rather than threaded. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Tom,
I've never seen one that would screw onto the end of the flexible plastic pipe. I have one of the "bayonet" types and it is not too hard to remove the short flexible piece to connects the actual drain to the EZ Pivot and then connect the hose adapter piece directly to the drain. I do it all the time in campgrounds where they turn their heads to draining gray water onto the grass (or sometimes when they don't under the dark of night!)

My 5" EZ Pivot tube has holes drilled in the bottom of it to allow for draining (or in case you have a leaky valve). If you ever have to replace the tube or cap...hold on to your wallet! Regular home improvement store usually don't carry 5" stuff. Some speciality plumber shops have it, or you can get it from PI. rockin'
