Here's a link to a video detailing the installation method.

If your stack is the standard 1 1/2" PVC pipe you won't need an adapter. Good luck.

Good instructional video on how it's done. Howwever, I do not agree with using silicone caulking but would use self leveling dicor type roofing caulk instead.

Thanks for asking. I went and installed it today. The pipe is 1 1/2". Installing the Camco cyclone was actually pretty easy! The hardest part is removing the old sealant, being very careful not to tear the membrane underneath. Which I didn't. and I did not use the silicone they recommended. Thanks again.

I installed two on my 98 Executive two months ago before leaving California headed to Alaska. No problems putting them on, 1.5" pipes fit just fine. Hardest problem is cleaning the old caucking off.

We've always had a problem with fumes from the gray tank after it gets about half full, that problem is now gone, no fumes what so ever. I'm very happy with this product.

I installed one of these a few weeks ago....no problems, easy to install - But, we are still getting odors coming in the coach when I drive slowly with the drivers side window open. I understand there is some sort of check valve installed installed under the sinks used in place of the sewer vent. Is there a way to test if this is the problem or should they just be changed?

Just change them. They're about $6-7 from HD or Lowe's. Too easy to change to worry about it. It you still have an oder, at least you've eliminated the obvious things.

There should be one under each sink in your rig. They usually are installed by hand and snugged up tight. We replaced all of ours last year in our previous mh and the sewer type smell went away. They are constructed to let air into the plumbing vent pipe sytem but not to allow it to escape unless they become faulty(the rubber seal flap fails). Here is a link to what they look like and where to purchase.
