I am having an issue with my two sewer hoses not clicking together. I can get them to attach but not click together so a leak develops when I open the tanks. This problem started when the temps hit the 90's. Any thoughts on how to solve this issue will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Most likely the temperature is allowing the plastic to become flexible not allowing a tight/good seal..... not to much one can do. Is it a good quality hose? if so , return it.

We use this onehttp://www.walmart.com/ip/Camco-Revolution-Swivel-RV-Sewer-Hose-Kit-20/23636862 from Walmart. It is a cheap hose system.

I think I know, but I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "clicking together". Are you using a cheap slinky sewer hose, or a good quality semi-rigid with a four-prong bayonet connection, like Rhinoflex? There are some things you shouldn't cheap out on. We've used Rhinoflex hoses through periods of 105-110 degree summer heat with no leakage problems.

You might try Camcorder Sewer Hose Wrenches. Don't know if this will work for you! I have arthritis in my hands which makes it difficult to fully 'click' in the fittings and to release them. These work great for me. Bought them on Amazon! Good luck!

I think Lemo has the solution. We have a rhino flex and by clicking together I mean attaching two sections of hose together. I do have arthritis in my right hand so maybe I just don't have the strength. A wrench sounds like the answer!
Thanks

I would try replacing the sealing rings in both hoses!

Maybe a little lube like Vaseline on the male end?

I've been using these blue line hoses for 5 years without a single problem. I too have severe arthritis.

I use WD40 and a strap wrench.

You lost an "O" ring,, inside the female connector should be an O-ring.

Believe it or not selected Wal*marts will have a set for Camco couplers.. Should fit yours but might not. (Depending on the brand you have).

Not all stores seem to have 'em.> Camping world and RV stores should have 'em too. It is a black rubber thing.
