Saw a guy take one of these out of his storage compartment and he used it to hold his sewer hose down.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.



I too have one of these but mine came from India the ears are smaller which allows me to fit it in the pass thru.

Two tent stakes, one on each side of the elbow. A bungie from one tent stake to the other over the elbow. Doesn't weigh nearly as much as sandbags and other weights.

I just open the valve and turn the water loose. If the hose jumps off of the drain, oh well, it's not my campsite or dumpstation. Just my way of getting even with site cutter thu-ers, obnoxious dog owners, diesel engine idlers, those who don't know what "quiet hours" are, golf cart owners, old people, children, Class C owners, Pop Up owners, Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers (wait a minute, I'm one of those), men who shave & brush their teeth in the bathhouse while I'm trying to take a dump, the list goes on and on.

I like the sock idea. When I had my TT I always used the 90 degree connection and never had a problem, 30 gallon black and a not so direct connection from tank produced a good flow but not strong.

Then I got my Class A with a 60 gallon black tank and a direct connection. Well the first time I dumped when the tank was full, that 90 degree end stood strait up about 2 feet off the ground like a cobra snake ready to strike, I had to jump on it and shove it back in to the pipe, needless to say I now put my foot on it when dumping,and am going to try the sock filled with sand.

Oh yes I should mention I did clean up the surrounding area as best I could with a hose and some bleach. Wonder if any one was watching must have been hilarious to see, like the movie RV.

I use an old snow/tire chains. Can store anwhere and easy to wash off if needed. Cheap, had old pair in garage. Flexable weight.

Simple. We took two deep sea fishing weights and tied parachute cord between them. Works for us.

Well, here is what I did,,, I got on the internet and visited

http://www.hosebuddy.com/

And ordered a pair, So if one goes missing I'll still have one to use

I too use the Hose Buddy. The bottom is specially formed to surround the 90 degree fitting and the end straddles the hose. You fill it with water (1 gallon), sit it on the fitting and hose, and let'r rip. It never moves. When done you just empty the water, which makes it lightweight to carry.

throw away the stinky slinky and get either a sewer solution or macerator pump and you will bless the day you did.
