Waste Hose

[vblarry]

While setting up our new 33 RSO, I pulled the cap off the waste hose storage tube and found out there is no fitting on the end for inserting the hose into the dump station fixture. Curious as to what some of the RV veterans out there have used. A 90' fixture is preferred, but I don't believe it will fit into the storage tube. Looking for some of those unique ideas that some come up with ever so often. Leaving for Ar on Friday so I figure I should make this a prority.

We use the red Valterra 90 degree ell like this one.
I would suggest you pick up an extra hose. We got a heavy grey one (look for high "mil" number as that will tell you how thick it is). A leaky sewer hose is the last thing you want. They don't cost all that much so you may want to get one anyway. Run some water thru your current hose to see if you have any pin-hole leaks. Our lighter weight hoses lasted only a few months before getting little pinholes (Life lesson: when dumping, don't stand too close to the hose).

And I don't keep our hose in the tube (square, rusty metal, with big bumper in the way). I store our's in a Rubbermaid Tote labeled "waste" in a big construction weight plastic trash bag. I tie up the bag and place the other waste stuff (like sewer hose connectors and "donut" rings, etc) in the tote. I also have a similar tub for my "fresh" hoses and connectors.

The red Valterra elbow came with mine. It will fit inside the storage tube as it is two piece. Check with your dealer if they are near by, otherwise I would go ahead and buy one.

I would suggest also getting the Valterra screw-on connector for attaching two hose lengths. You will eventually find a time when one length won't quite make it to the sewer pipe. All you have to do is screw off the 90 degree elbow, screw on the connector, screw on the second hose to the other end of the connector and then screw the elbow onto the end of the second hose. In a few minutes you are all hooked up. It definitely beats the "blue" component system where everything has to be forced onto the connectors and tightened down with automobile clamps.

To store the second hose when not needed, I have a PVC pipe the width of the trailer attached just behind the front jacks. I have screw caps on either end to facilitate storage of the hose.

Larry,

Although the hose that came with your rig is new, it is not a really high quality hose and it will give you a lot of grief in a very short time. I have tried a variety of the cheep hoses and none of them have been satisfactory. My advice to you, speaking from experience, is to bite the bullet and start out with a blueline.

Larry,

There should be a red 90 degree elbow included with your Pivot-EZ sewer hose compartment. We put it in the basement storage area or the front generator box compartment. The elbow WILL fit inside of the hose compartment if you take the elbow flange off of the elbow. If you did not get one, call Donna at the factory and she can send you one.

Thanks,
Bryan

Bryan, its the little things like your offer to Larry to ship the elbow that makes your company GREAT and causes all of us to be lifelong ambassadors for Excel!

We appreciate your imput.

The "little things" that the folks at PI do on a daily basis are what make us (Excel Owners) grin from ear-to-ear when folks complain about their SOB RVs.
