Easy Sewer Support

Not a bad set-up. It would certainly be functional for those that are traveling a lot more than we are.

Because we are "static" full-timers, we bought a product for our sewer system that is "expandable" PVC sections that came with some adjustable "stands" to hold the pipe in line. If you go to the link below where I posted a "review" of the system, you can see a picture down towards the bottom that shows three stands at different heights. Those are adjustable up and down on two vertical metal "bars" and are held with thumb screws at the heights desired.

Now, if one could just find those kinds of stands that were sold separately. Of course, a person might be able to buy just some stands from the guy that sells the EZE-Kleen Sewer system. When we got our system from them, one of the expandable sections had a cracked O-ring. I called him about getting a replacement ring and he sent me 3 or 4 free of charge.

Neat Idea!!!!....................gonna have to make me one of them!!!

My only concern with using fittings and PVC was that if one built one up, there's no guarantee it would be the right length for the next location. That is one reason I liked the idea of the EZE-Kleen Sewer system. Each length of the straight sections are telescoping, so one can extend or contract to fit the distance to the sewer connection. Even in our location, where we are in a mobile home park for long term, if we pull the coach out, I never have to worry whether I will get the trailer back into the exact same spot.

Not mentioned in the original blog post that I linked to above is the fact that if the line is kind of at a 45-degree angle, it causes a small issue with allowing for good slope angle. After our little incident where we moved the coach because of the tree, I went to Camping world and bought two 10-inch Valterra extension pieces to allow me to extend out a little further from the coach before hooking on the EZE-Kleen elbows. Now, it works better for my slope angle.

Scrappy, thought I might end up with some comment about the toes! 😛

Terry and Bill, great looking products.

Mike, think Jesse will make one of those too to keep him out of trouble. (He wanted to hang
Bells on the trailer that a lady is staying in with her new boyfriend!)

Now, with a previous post talking about how Jesse was "so nice" and would never have done what the other camp host claimed, I'm wondering if you are now on the verge of confessing certain traits about him that were previously kept hidden.

Heh....when I was in my teens, and with a car and a driver's license, we all used to drive around in the country at night to "bushwhack" couples who looked for solititude. Nothing spoils an amorous pursuit quite like sudden headlights showing up in one's interior of their car. And, images of boys bailing over the back of the front seat to drive away still seem to reside in my mind.

Oh, and you guys need to be paid a bit more. Obviously you can't afford to "paint" all of the toes.

Terry,

I remember those days and those headlights.....just sayin'!

Don't forget the hitch on the Jag! We weren't at the first park long enough for his "creative" side to come out. And as far as the toes go a couple of years ago I had to have surgery for a detached retina. When the told me I'd have to keep my face parallel to the ground 24/7 for 7 to 10 days, I decided if I had to look at my feet all day long I was going to make it fun. So big toe is neon blue, second is neon pink, third neon green, fourth is neon orange and little toe is deep purple. They just didn't all show up. Made me laugh every time I looked at them. Then I had 7 more same and different procedures on the same eye over two years so they've become my signature "Happy Toes".

LOVE the "Happy Toes!"

Nice set up for the sewer hose. When I finally get the 5th wheel I will probably run the hose through some larger PVC pipe to protect it from the UV rays since I will be sitting in on place for a while...

If you are going through the trouble of purchasing PVC Schedule 40 pipe just add a few connections and forget the hose..

They mentioned they are going to be in one spot for awhile and she was going to sleeve the flexable hose in full PVC pipe so why not....

Oh, I'm not against it. I'm just not sure it would work for us. I only mentioned it because if one were to have to take their RV in for service or something, could they get back into an exact same spot. Just a consideration, and one that Jo and I made as well. I had heard from some other RV'ers here on RV Dreams that wintered in Missouri. They had left their "stinky-slinky" out and it ended up freezing solid with all the cold weather. It all started with water being retained in the little valleys of the expandable hose. That is why I wanted PVC with no valleys.
