Still a thumbs up on the Pivot EZ for me. Even the occasional site where it's a little too long hasn't been an issue with the stiff Valterra hose it's easy to curve it back around. I just came down to Fla two weeks ago and didn't have any problem getting it back in the PivotEZ even on some very cold mornings.
The clear length of sewer has made a major difference for me. I realize now how poor a job I was doing for years flushing the black tank with just a guess at how long to keep the flush on. Now that I can see what's coming out my flush time is a lot longer and even as the color starts to get almost clear I still see a few pieces of solids and TP exiting the tank. When I leave a site with sewer or a dump station I feel my tanks are a lot cleaner than I used to run.

X2......once I found out how much it takes to get things really cleared (drain with flush initially) and then 3 more good fill and flushes does it for us. We use lots and water on each toilet flush (more with paper and poo). Never ever had a problem with black tank gauge reading. Grey......now that's whole 'nother thing. rockin'

Tom, use Dawn Blue Ultra in the grey. You probably have fats coating the walls. Helps to tow with 1/3 full tank. But, that will be months from now.....

Thanks Doc. I've tried that, among many other things, but, as I've mentioned in other threads, now my gauge goes up to 25% fine and then 100% all the way up to 100%. Garnet says to use Happy Camper Extreme Cleaner twice with 1/3 tank and towing. I ordered some and got it the other day (it's a powder). I'll be using it May 1st. I'll keep ya posted. rockin's

No, Garnet technical guy said not to use Dawn, which I failed to get more clarification of why not. I've used a bunch of different concoctions over the years. rockin'
