lil_turtle@frontiernet.net Report post Posted August 7, 2010 My new dump/hookup sewage hose will not go inside the rear bumper. The hose itself is ok, but the fittings on the ends will not go in the bumper due to screws protruding inside that hold the anti-spray brushes on. I tried 4-inch PVC pipe, but the fittings again would not fit. Is there 5-inch PVC available? The 6-inch PVC is WAY too big! Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BillAdams Report post Posted August 7, 2010 Can you unscrew the offending screw, grind off the end and reattach the screw? If so, problem solved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lil_turtle@frontiernet.net Report post Posted August 8, 2010 The screws are every 6-8'' inside the full lenghth of the square bumper. No way to ground them all off inside the bumper. THANKS ANYWAY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kalynzoo Report post Posted August 8, 2010 Camping World sells a white PVC pipe with fitting that stores the sewer hose. I'm sure one can be DIY for less using irrigation pipe, but it gives you a place to look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaDonnie Report post Posted August 8, 2010 Just another thought, remove the screws holding the spray sheild. Use a tap to thread bumber and use short 3/16" in length screws using permatex red locktite. This may give you the room your looking for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

THANKS ANYWAY As I suggested, you would remove the screw, grind to the proper length and then re-install. Replacing the screws with rivets as suggested above may also be workable solution.

karenandcollins Report post Posted September 22, 2010 we did end up buying a 6" pvc. It is big, but my husband put it on the bottom of the storage compartment. You can put things on top of it & don't have to move them in order to get to the pipe. It is working great for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BillAdams Report post Posted September 22, 2010 What's wrong with a basic sewer setup? Sewer Solution, macerators, Sani-Con, etc. I see no need for any of these as the basic sewer hose into a nearby sewer dump as work perfectly well for us during our last 10 years of full-timing. I want to dump quick and clean and not have to hook up another water hose and wait (forever) while this water moves my waste through a tiny hose to some remote dump. If I need to dump I find a dump station, hook up a 3" hose and dump. I am done in a couple of minutes and on my way again. If I never touch any fluids doing it my way, how in the world are these "improved" dump systems better? Clean is clean and quick is better than slow. I hook up, I dump and I move on. How much easier does it get than that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
