The connection fitting is not for the dump station, it is for connecting a sewer hose to a campsite hookup.
The tote has a built in hose that you can stick in the dump station hole, and connect to your waste tank to dump it into the tote. No adapter should be needed. The key is in the last line of the description:
Quote: No extra accessories to buy--includes all necessary hoses, bayonets and sewer hose cap.
I am a little puzzled myself. Do you have a waste holding tank on your PUP? Most don't, and you wouldn't need the tote for sewage if your's doesn't. If you have a cassette toilet, the cassette is the holding and transfer tank.
Backroad, I'm not sure how much you know about this, but since no one else has answered, I'll try to explain the best I can. First of all, the Camping World ad for the portable tank says that it includes all hoses and fittings which are needed. Second, I use an identical red Valterra 90-degree fitting (same as you see on your other Camping World link) on my red, twist-on Valterra hose connections, when I dump my tanks in my RV garage dump station, or when I connect to an on-campsite sewer connection in an RV park. But I've never seen anyone take the time to use a threaded connection at an RV dump station. You just open the sewer lid (most can be foot-operated, for sanitary reasons), stick the dump hose in it far enough that it isn't likely to come out when the valve is opened and water (and the other stuff) starts flowing, and use your foot or something else (our local Corps of Engineers park thoughtfully supplied a big rock) to keep pressure on the pipe lid and the hose so that the end of the hose doesn't come out of the pipe while dumping.
Especially if there is a line waiting to use the dump station, you won't be the most popular person at the campground if you take the time to use a threaded connection to the dump station pipe in order to dump your tanks. For this reason, and the fact that I thoroughly clean, wand-blast, and backflush my tanks with a Flush King attachment after dumping, I have a sewer dump and city water faucet inside my RV garage, where I can do these unpleasant tasks without everyone and their brother breathing down my neck, in their hurry to head home. Or, if I have sewer hookups at the campsite, I do it before unhooking the sewer hose connection.
If you need more explanation, you can send me a private message, and I'll try to go into more detail. But, #1, the portable tank should have all needed connections with it, and #2, no one I've ever observed used a screw-on connection on a public RV sewer dump station. I hope this helps you. JIM

OH Jim you should observe me emptying my gray and black water at a CG. On my very first camping trip there was a sign at the dump station that said you needed to have a right angle adapter. I had the hose but no adapter so I had to carry the gray water all the way home.
My experience is that you don't have to screw in the adapter into the dump station hole just slip it in and it is secure enough that when the gray tank is empty I can hold it up in the air upside down and get all the gray water out. I do the same when rinsing it out.
KC, if you have already purchased the adapter then you need this adapter and its hose clamp to connect the 90 degree adapter to your hose.

Just a heads up folks, that 90° fitting is not threaded. Those ridges help "form a gas-tight seal that fits virtually any campground sewer opening." I saw this item for sale at a CG and seemed like it would do a great job fitting multiple sized dump-station openings.

Michael, Thanks for pointing that out. I notice that you can purchase an E-Z threaded adapter for that 90 degree unit.
We use that red elbow fitting at the dump station....it's attached to our hose and stays there. We don't have to hold it down, it doesn't come loose.
I didn't like the parts that came with my Barker Tote, we had a seperate short hose that came with the camper and we use that instead. Saved the Barker parts for a rainy (or leaky) day.

Who knew we would be having so much fun talking about sewer adapters?

I was planning on asking you how you carried that. I purchased the exact same Camco setup in an effort to do exactly as you've done with your cassette. I had purchased some 4" PVC pipe but couldn't fit that elbow connector in. I realize the elbow part does come apart, but does the actual 90° part fit into the PVC pipe?
I still have to find a non-threaded bayonet adaptor to connect inbtween the hose and the 3 by 2 inch adapter. I did purchase a threaded EZ Coupler® Bayonet Adapter at a CG I was staying in....what a mess that made!
Mike, Yes the bayonet end, hose, 90 degree adapter, rubber gloves and the threaded end all fits in the 4 inch PVC pipe. HOWEVER, there are two things that you have to do.
You need to file off two or three little ridges that are on the bayonet end, and
You have to replace the clamps that come with the adapter with regular 3 inch hose clamps.
The ridge and original clamps were the two things that prevented the hose from fitting right into the PVC pipe. At first I was frustrated when I could not get the threaded section to slip in until I discovered that it had the same thread as the PVC pipe and would screw right in. Hence I only needed one PVC end cap and the threaded Camco end allows air to circulate inside the PVC pipe and thus dry out any water that may have been left in the hose.
Hope this helps.

PS, I keep the cassette adapter in the compartment where the toilet is housed and the clamp on that large end is too big to fit into the 4 inch PVC pipe.
