Mine is only about six inches off the ground on my FS2300. If I dont cut it off it might get ripped off along with some other things. 07 3500HD D/A LMM 06 WW FS2300 06 YFZ450 05 KFX400 03 Raptor 80 85 FL350R Odyssey 06 Rhino 660 Special Edition jeepgeek • View posts Rancho Cucamonga, CA Senior Member Joined: 01/08/2005 View Profile Offline Posted: 07/22/05 01:38am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator What do you think was the purpose for Warrior putting it so far down the rig? 05 Chevy 3500 LT Crew Cab Dually, 06 WW SLC3905 Kenwood 6X9 speakers 03 Jeep Wrangler 4.5" Rubicon Express coils 1" body lift, 35" tires, 9000 lb winch, rock jock dana 60/detroit/4.88 rear, Dana 30/Detroit/4.88 front 07 Raptor 700R 07 Kymco 90 (X3) Kampnnut • View posts Orange Park, FL Senior Member Joined: 04/14/2004 View Profile Offline Posted: 07/22/05 04:28am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator As many of you know there is not a standard for where hookups are placed in a camp site. I've seen connections on the opposite side of where they hookup on the camper is. I have found sewer connections in the back part of the site and in the middle of the site. I'd like to do what Racorman did but that means I might need to carry more sewer hose. I guess the longer the rig the more hose you need anyway. If I think about this too much I'll have to go hunt down my hacksaw.

Senior Member Joined: 04/29/2005 View Profile Offline Posted: 07/22/05 08:21pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator One of the first things I did was cut about 2 to 3 feet off of the sewer line on my FS2600. I asked the service manager at WW "why they were so long" He said that there are codes for mobile homes that apply to travel trailers? Something about outlet being so far away from the front end of the trailer and length for minimum drop from tank to outlet? Not sure if this is BS or not but I wouldn't think they would use any more materials than needed to build these gems.

The only reason I can guess that they made them this long is because when you pull into a dump station usually there is a dip in the pavement in which your wheels sit into, thus tilting the entire rig so things flow faster, better or whatever. I know it is far fetched, but that is all I could guess. 2003 2500HD D/A 2004 40' SLC3905 Weekend Warrior Racorman • View posts Santa Cruz, California Senior Member Joined: 12/15/2003 View Profile Posted: 09/08/05 11:07am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator To the top for the new owners.......

It seems to work O K there, like another post said, the tires are in the "Dip" and this should help in the dump process.
