Sewer Hose Question

[ScenicView]

We're about to start our second season with our 22' 2017 Bullet ultralight. I still dread emptying the black tank. I use the Valterra Sewer Solution because I can pump the waste through with the grey water hose as it's emptying and don't have to worry about the dump connection being higher than the hose.

My black and grey water outlet isn't really high off the ground. Maybe it's because of the size of my tires (R17s). I noticed that a lot of dump receivers are also elevated off the ground.

If I wanted to use a hose like the Rhino Flex, what would I do if my sewer hose is lower than the dump station because the dump station receiver is elevated off the ground for some reason?

Thanks!

They are elevated so rain water doesn't go into the holding tank. When the black and grey tanks have emptied, starting at the trailer end lift the sewer hose off the ground to finish dumping what might be left in the hose, then give it a rinse.

If the bottom of your tanks is higher than the sewer pipe the tanks will drain and you will just have what remains in the hose as it goes uphill. This is one of many reasons to dump the black tank first then the water from gray tank will force the black tank sewage out. Once all tank flow quits close tank drain valves and disconnect the drain hose at the rv connection and QUICKLY raise it higher than the sewer receiver pipe to drain your hose.
Many sewer receivers are higher than surrounding ground to help prevent rain water from entering and over taxing the sewage treatment process.

The more often you drain the tank, the more comfortable you will get with it. Don't fret, just dump it and move on. Like others said, always dump black, rinse it a few times, then move on to the grey tank. Unhook, lift the hose so the remaining water runs into the dump and carry on.

I always lift the hose to empty it before unhooking. Then I flush the hose with fresh water before I unhook from the dump.

Just glove up - go slow - check your connections down to the sewer receiver - dump the black - use your black tank flush system - close your valve - check your connections - Dump your grey - close your valve - rinse out the hose, cap the end and disconnect.

Remove your gloves after all the parts are stowed and use some alcohol based hand gel.

What you need is a clear hose adaptor that goes between the waste gate and the hose, so you can see when the tanks are empty....

I use a clear 45 that stays attached permanently.
