Dual sewage outlets

I have never bothered with full service sites, so I am new to the whole " sewer hose hookups ".

My sabre has two drains. Do we just hook up two hoses, into a Y adapter, then into the ground?

Full service virgin.....

Thats what you suppose to do, buy more parts for the stinky slinky. I am too cheap and seldom have sewer. I use one hose and alternate between the two tank drains.

I drain one at a time but ONLY when full
Never leave the valves open.

Black tank should be drained first then greys.

Kind of pointless to buy all the extra hose and y when your only going to dump when full.

Just move the hose.

Some models like mine have the 2nd grey (kitchen) dump valve under slide. So I went with a cap for that valve that has a garden hose outlet. One could put a shut off on the hose, then open the valve, then when kitchen tank is full open shut off. My sewer hose end that goes into ground pipe has a place to hook up the garden hose, so a short piece of garden hose could be put on there,joining the two together, there-by having an enclosed system.When draining black, turn off garden hose valve, drain black, then front grey. All this depends on how long we'll be at the site as to how many dishes and so-forth the sink gets used

Hard plumb the rear tank into the front and forget about moving a hose and crawling under a slide and all that crazy stuff.

We mostly stay 1,2 or 3 days at one spot. with 2 or 3 adults. We have not needed to drain the galley tanks constant but maybe after several days and also the black tank. So pluming the two together for us seems like its not needed compared to such little work as switching the hoses every few days to drain..

About 3-4 hrs work and $25 cures the problem permanently!
Older folks have a problem crawling around on their knees under a slide.

Bob, I am tickled to death that I got to meet you in Nashville.
It really helps to be able to visualize your ornery face as you sit at that keyboard, drinking coffee, and spewing out morsels of humor.
Hang in there!

Most folks use the glue & primer for the type of pipe they are connecting to, you can use whatever trips your trigger.

You're just blowing smoke, you're too lazy to make the mod with any kind of pipe, besides, you have to use what is compatible with what's on the trailer.

I'm plan'n on keep'n my original set-up, but have in my hand the stuff needed to hard plumb to the front waste valves.......depends on what's called for as to which system I'll use......the kitchen grey can be done with a garden hose with shut-off attached to loose hose end.....so, install hose, pull trailer valve, open slide....don't need to deal with sewer hose for doing just this. when you cut into your pipes, did you end up with an oval hole?
