Ther must be something wrong with the sewer outlet pipe if you have to hold it in pace while dumping. Be sure to get that figured out!


I honestly don't know if I "had" to hold it there. I just did hold it there to be sure I didn't have an even bigger mess on my hands.

Was hoping that someone on here could tell me where to get a new piece that has the locking pins.

Thanks

Glad you had a great first trip. Congrats on the new TT. Advise: don't give up your own bed! It's your bed and everyone should understand that! If someone is coming along, let them know you're not giving up your bed. It's yours. You deserve it!

Other than that, I hope you have many more good trips!

Most RV dealers or CW should have what you need. You may have to put a new outlet end on the valve but you should be able to do it for less than $20

You can get a clear bayonet type fitting pipe that will allow you to see the waste coming out. I remember the first time we did it, too - I didn't know when it would be finished, and after we got the clear Flush King thing, I realized that just "emptying" the tank wasn't getting it all out.

The clear pipe thing can be found at Wal-Mart or Camping World or where RV parts are sold.

Later, we had a Tornado installed in our tank, and now, I know we get it all out, but generally, I flush it out a couple times before I know we get it all out.

The movie, RV, comes to mind! Only RV'ers know about dumping your waste! LOL

I have the Flush King fitting. It has the Bayonnet fitting on it. The problem is the end that comes from the TT doesn't have anything for the bayonnet fittings to attatch too. I will be going to the RV store in a few minutes, I'm sure they have something there to fix this problem.

We are on our way out again tonight. My wifes LOVES camping now that we have the TT. I wasn't planning on leaving till Friday. She informed me that we were going today. See you all Sunday.
I will have pics this time.

Ohhhh!!! Now I get you!

Hmmmm...I have never seen that! I'm sure the RV store will have a solution for you, but if not, go to RV Lifestyles here and post that specific question.

I guarantee you many people will have tried and true solutions.

I've posted many a question and saved myself some time and hassle just from asking!

Good luck!
