Replacing the sewer hose storage tube
A while back I bought a new sewer hose to use instead of the macerator pump whenever dumping the black and gray tanks is simply a matter of dropping a hose down a hole and letting gravity do the rest. As I'm getting more experience with this RVing business I'm finding this is usually the case and using a swer hose will greatly speed up the process. I'll still need the macerator pump at home where dumping the tanks into the septic system is on an up hill lie but otherwise a simple sewer hose is the way to go.
The old sewer hose storage tube was a section of 4 inch aluminum flexible duct that had seen better days and was too short for the new hose I bought. So I replaced it with a longer piece.

That Ideas Should Freely Spread
If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. Its peculiar character, too, is that no one possesses the less, because every other possesses the whole of it. He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.
