Sewage connection adapter

So I am going to flush the black and grey tanks.

I bought the camco rhino hose. I thought it was just standard size.

But I think it is not. Standard is 3 inch. But the connector is definitely bigger than 3.

What adapter can I use to get it connected?

You need a Thetford to Valterra adapter.  Should be found at most RV supply stores, and from the usual online vendors.

Tell me if I'm missing something here ? That adapter won't work on the coach connector as the both have 4 lugs. The adapter should have 4 hooks and 2 lugs, it looks backwards to me.

The adaptor being discussed doesn't require 4 hooks on the Thetford side - 2 hooks work fine to connect to the white "male" Thetford dump pipe.  Many Thetford style "female" connectors only have 2 hooks, although you will occasionally see some with 4 hooks.

The orange "female" sewer hose end connector has 4 hooks and wants 4 "posts" (standard Valterra configuration) which are supplied by the "male" side of the adaptor.

The adapter on the cardboard is the thetford to Valterra that you want. Be careful those white hooks snap off.once on. The Valterra connector will work. Leave the adapter on your coach.

Some many of us have cut off the white Thetford on the coach and installed the more common Valterra new end.  We know that the Valterra equipment is sold almost anywhere, and at many rv campgrounds. 
I cut mine off, and "upgraded" to the black ends.  In addition some install a new shut off valve if they have room to still close the bay door.  I carry a portable shut off, in the event that I ever find one of my black or grey valves is leaking or not closing.  Then its easy to add the 3rd portable one, and then schedule my rebuild.

I agree about the Valterra adapters breaking easily. Make sure you have at least a couple spares. I also have found that they don't always seal that good.

Well, I guess I have to cut the thetford out.

There is not enough space to add a adapter then an 90 degree elbow.

It is too tight.

Need some keyword to search for.

Thanks

We removed the Valtera end on our sewer hose and put a Thetford end in it with a hose clamp. This is our main hose and if we need longer we add regular Thetford ended hoses. No need for adapter or cut off MH Thetford connection. In some ways the Thetford fittings are stronger and more secure. Simple solution to a messy issue that has worked for us for 20 years. We carry a spare Thetford end just in case...

How do you connect the hose?

Using a clamp?

Or
Other side is a common valterra connector?

You have to spread the hose to fit. A tool is available or you can use a hair dryer and muscle.

Yep, use hose clamp around the Thetford motorhome end.

The other end is normal Valtera.
