Dumpbuddy

[lrwinddancer]

Howdy, Wondering if any of you have ever tried this product. It is a quick clamp device designed to hold the dumping elbow in place. It looks pretty cleaver but does not look like it would work with my 2020 Dutch Star emasculator system. https://dumpbuddy.com/

I found this and decided to try it, will let you know how well it works.

I thought rocks were made for this billions of years ago... Cost $0.

Lynn.....first off an emasculator is a tool used to deprive a male of his manhood.

Now if you're talking about your macerator, it would probably work. I never liked the end piece (head) that comes with the SaniCon. The reason, the head doesn't spin without twisting the hose. So I made my own.

It fits 3" and 4" threaded drains and I have an adapter, just a threaded unit with 3", 4" and 5" threads if it's a 5" drain. The two black threaded pieces are from Home Depot and drilled in the center and pvc pipe pushed though for a loose fit. You can thread them into the drain without having to spin the head.

Thanks for the correction Don.
I like your design, seems simple and easy to to build. I also like as some of the dump ports are flushed or even recessed and the Dumpbuddy would have nothing to mount to.

Interesting design and application. I suppose you could call this installation “[Mod Edit] hitting the fan

I know, I was not sure what the base was, but realized the device was being used in my applacation.

Just a tip.....the SaniCon Turbo is very powerful and will kick out of the sewer drain hole if not well secured. However, if both of your toilets are macerators and you have the SaniCon hooked up and don't feel comfortable about the connection, just open the black tank valve without turning on the SaniCon. It will gravity drain very quickly via the bypass.

When I dump mine from inside the coach, via an electric drain valve, I just let gravity do it since I'm inside and can't see the connection. It works great.

Don, I am gathering parts to build one of your drain head designs. In the process I realized that the 1 1/2 PVC pipe looked bigger than yours. The only real problem this creates is the 3" and maybe 4" thread bulkhead caps. The square molded nut is pretty much eliminated. Looking at your picture it looks like you may have used 1" PVC? I notice on the hose end there is a coupler, is this to allow the 1 1/2 flex hose to be mounted tight to it?
Thanks

All of these gadgets seem to be a lot of engineering just to dump some what gravity and folks will do for nothing. I’m with Fiesta48

I can appreciate your thoughts on making things to complicated! Have you ever used the system in discussion? Unfortunately the engineers at SaniCon did not do a top quality design when they came up with the interface between the hose and the dump connection. Something has to be done to insure the connection stays in place when the pump is activated. As pointed out screwing in the connection the manufacture supplies does not work. Finding rocks seems like a good idea, however not very practical as finding one is not always an option. I have tried using a 5 pound dumbbell, which works but can be touchy to get in the right place, I have also tried setting my outdoor chair on it, logs, coolers, even having my wife rest her foot on it. All of them will work, but I want a simple easy fast set up that is install and forget. The way it should be done in the first place.

Search "RV sewer hose weights" and you'll find multiple solutions including DIY options. I liked this one https://thesewersaddlebag.com/ so I made my own out of 2 heavy duty gallon zip lock bags clamped together at the top and partially filled with pea gravel.

I envision a latch that applies a conical wedge to increase the diameter of a silicone wedge shaped gasket...the Wedge to fit different sized dump openings and the latch to apply more friction to keep the elbow locked.

Just push onto the opening, and push the latch down. Snug.

Is this just in my mind or have I seen this somewhere? I seem to remember a premium priced hose setup that maybe that has this design?

2 EDIT: nope, no cam lock...so maybe this is a new idea.
