Thanks Tom, coming from an expert, like you, it's much appreciated. Take care.

Thanks to everyone's help, I've got my set up done. Heading out next weekend so it will be a good test. It's simple but works, used quick connect fittings so it's super fast to hook up. Also have another length of hose running to an adapter of I have site sewer drains(rare for where I camp) but nice to have.

Looks good.

Here's what we did for ours. It drains a lot better than the garden hose adaptor did.

[Pooneil]

I bet that works well.

I know its an old thread.. but I am trying to figure out, before i buy the 7 gallon Aquatainer.. how are you guys attaching the garden hose to the Aquatainer? Does it require a special adapter.. or is the tank threaded for a garden hose?

[Pooneil]

The aquatainer screw on top has a 3/4 FPT opening for the spout to screw into. Replace the spout with a MPT to MHT nipple adapter. And order one of those tethered caps to cover the hose end of the nipple when not in use.

Thanks Pooneil. . I see different sizes of the mpt to mht adapters. Can you find one in amazon and point me on the right direction?

[Pooneil]

Here is one in brass. a bit of overkill but the sizes are correct. Your local hardware store should stock these in PVC.

I threaded a 3/4 hosebib into my aquatainer, that way I can close it all up tight and prevent drips when its stowed away. Then I used a washing machine hose to connect the two.

For what it is worth I use the 4 gallon AquaTainer, easier on the knees (use to use the 7 gallon) and is easier to store. I cap the adapter with the end from a soaker hose, just have to remember where I leave it, usually next to my impact driver.

Here is what I came up with:


1. 4 Gallon Aqua-Tainer.
2. Aqua-Tainer X Garden Hose Adapter.
3. Garden hose quick connect.
4. Camco Drain.
5. Wye-valve (to dump either in the Aqua-Tainer, or outside).
6. To outside hose.

Been living 4 years full time in the van and really liked that minimalist setup!
