Don, I like it! That's really efficient.
Will see if I can make something like that in my space. Will have to build a shelf and mount the reels to it.
How do you like your glendinning hose reels?

I too am tired of leaking connections and continually replacing the clear short connections from Camco.  And so I always have read the threads on the Wastmaster which most buyers seem to like.  My problem is this, I like to dump and refill my black and grey tank a few times when dumping, using the Flush King.  Is there a way to leave the Wastemaster connected and still have a clear short connection with something similar to the Flush King?

Jack,
Not a direct answer, but I use my third valve and flush the black tank with gray water two or three times dumping. The clear plastic section at the business end of the wastemaster is clear after the second gray water flush. I generally only dump the gray when we get above 90% in order to insure a pretty thorough flush. On the last flush I leave in between 10 & 20% gray water in the black tank to keep any solids from taking root, close the black and leave the gray open until it is empty then close the gray and finally the 3rd valve. The whole process takes less than 5 minutes and keeps things running clear. Of course, I started with a pressure washed clean set of tanks when I had them out of the coach. Best part is, I don't have to waste any potable water to flush the tanks, though I still could if I wanted to.

Until I install a third valve, I use the valve on the Waste Master as a third valve. Not quite as good as being right at the tank, but still lets me put a couple of grey water cycles into the black tank.

I have a Sewer solution kit (bought before Valterra bought them) and have used it at a spot where I had a 40' run to the sewer connection.  Works ok but uses a lot of water to keep the flow going.  Occasionally  TP plugs the hose and you have to run water again to get the flow going again.  It's a cheaper maintenance free  version of a macerator.  But don't expect to pump uphill unless you have a good stream of water pushing it the entire time.  And you need to keep an eye on it once you get the waste flowing in case it stops.

Folivier, I was wondering what water pressure you would need to make it function properly

Chris,  My Sewer Solution works fine on 40 psi and has for years.  Anytime I am dumping the black tank, the water jet is on and I am monitoring the drain.

With all my projects that I've been working on over the last year I still haven't gotten around to doing the waste master hose yet. I have taken apart the black and gray tank side housings and found it kind of a mess inside. I need to take my Coach soon to get the tanks emptied out and cleaned out and then I can replace all three of my blade valves clean up underneath it really well and install the new sewer connection. I have a black tank rinse on the Wall of the wet bay but it doesn't work. I bought a new one but I haven't installed it yet until I drain the tanks. I think it's just clogged up. When I took everything apart I found that when they installed it the part that you hook up to a hose was lower than the part that was in the tank, which meant a dirty water always was in the hose between the tank and the connection. I don't like that idea so when I redo it my plan is to raise up the connection so it's at the top that way all the water will drain into the tank when you disconnect the hose.
Still scratching my head about how to install my hose reels in the wet bay. I don't have the space in my coach with the new glendinning 50 amp reel to do a really nice job like other people have done. It's a big reel and there's just not enough room. The only way to put in the water reel is to push it all the way back next to the tank and then put the electric wheel in front. I really don't like that idea I wanted them side by side where I could access them easily but in my case it is just not going to happen. If my water hose reel gets jammed up I'm going to have a hard time getting back there to unjam it.
I thought about putting it in the access hatch where the muffler used to be But without significant modifications it just wouldn't work. The space is there but there's no good mounting area. That would be a good spot for it though, you could run the wire underneath the coach without ever having to worry about a access hatch. Although I expect that cord would get a lot of road debris, water, mud etc on it so maybe that's not really a good place to put it.

What do you use?
Don't like mine, the bayonet fittings come undone easily.
Like that  Lippert 359724 Waste Master 20' Extended RV Sewer Hose Management System with its cam lock. Anyone ever use it on our coaches? Not sure if it will fit well for long term use.
They are pricey but look well made.

Be interested in what you guys and girls use to empty the tanks.

Wastemaste Camlock is great! Wish I had done it sooner! I even put the electronic valves in, but they gave me some trouble and out they came....I said to myself, keep it simple stupid! The people at Wastemaster are awesome to work with!

The camlock was a tight fit on my 96' U295, but Keith Risch didn't disappoint! He fanagled a way for it to work. He had to notch out a little recess in the divider wall from wet area to cord storage in that bay. For the "ear of the cam lock" to work fully.

I'll try to get a get picture if I'm at the coach today, which I hope I am to install a new ShadePro dash pad and hangout in it.

The camlock is tight on my 320 also. I have to flip the one opposite the wall first to remove and install. My electric valves that came on the coach are still working trouble free. Hope I haven't jinxed that one.

When I installed mine, I shortened the camlock dogs by about ½" so that the one close to the compartment wall will clear. A bit less leverage, but I do the one closest to the wall first because the first cam thrown locks easily, and the second one though harder has clear access. Not really an issue for me anyway since I seldom disconnect the hose. Attached is a picture of the hose as I typically stow it.

Bob,
I use the Thetford Titan RV Sewer Hose Kit - 15' 17853 going on 5 years now with no hassle.  Still like new.  But then, I never connect it till I'm ready to dump.  Then it goes back into storage.  Same with the water hose.  I only use it to fill the tank.
