blueline sewer hose

mike54 · RV-Dreams Community Member

with my arthritis in my hands sewer hoses are getting harder to connect so I

bought the BlueLine sewer hose that pushes together no twisting. I'm hoping

this doesn't have problems with it blowing . confuse

does anyone use that type on of sewer hose?

have you had any problems with it blowing apart?

Consider using CamLock fittings. Our CarriLite came with an expensive WasteMaster sewer hose system that is a pain in the rear to deal with. The good thing they did though was use a 3" camlock system to hook to the sewer discharge. No more twisting, breaking tabs, or O-rings sticking. I ordered a couple of RV fittings, and found camlock fittings at my local agri-supply place. Easily adapted my rhino hoses to use them.

Mike,

First of all, welcome to the RV Dreams forums. You will find a lot of folks here with a wide range of knowledge about RV's, their systems, and the RV lifestyle. Feel free to ask questions as we all tend to learn from each other.

Here is an image of some camlock fittings to give you an idea of what they are. One thing I'll add is that the "female" portions of a camlock connection has a rubber "O" ring for a seal.

To answer the question, I use the blueline sewer products. I quite like them but there is a bit of twisting involved in putting them together and taking them apart. I have never had them come apart. The thing that I found was that once you start using the blueline product, you will need to stick to it, as it does not easily connect to other products. (they sell connectors for blueline to other connectors but in my opinion they do not work well)

Mike welcome, I am not that familiar with them personally but a Macerator setup might take away all those connection concerns that you have.

We’ve been using the Blueline for almost 7 years now and I prefer it over the other types. No leaks, long life, no problems and no tools required. Everyone has a preference but in our over 35 years of RVing we have found it, along with the fittings available, to be the best overall solution to the sewer hose question.

And “Nope,” it doesn’t come apart.

I've moved to a permanent macerator solution. In other words I use the macerator ONLY. Including passively draining grey water via a bypass of the macerator. Grey can also go through the macerator to rinse it. I LOVE this solution and wish I had done it earlier. You NEVER get messy, and you never have to store hoses or fittings in tubes etc. Everything is permanently attached. Just coil the hose in the storage area when moving. Take a look at the end of the New Horizons 2012 album and you will see what I did - there are comments on the pictures.
