First trip

Wasn't planning on taking the new Columbus out until next month, however spur of the moment trip found us taking it out last weekend. Took it from DFW to central Oklahoma. Just about a 3 hour drive. Truck did amazing!!! Got about 10.5 MPG. No issues starting and stopping. Set the cruise on 65 and didn't think twice. Was VERY impressed. Truck had no issues finding gears, actually only downshifted one time.

Only issue I did have was trying to figure out how I am going to configure my sewer hose since I have 2 discharges. Anyone seen any videos or write ups on setting up with 2 sewer discharges.

Use a wye connection, the single connection to the sewer and connect the two outlets from the trailer to the eye. That's the easy way. A bit harder would be a one time time investment of hard piping the two outlets to the wye then you must have the one house to connect when ever you have to dump.

Yes that is pretty much what I did. However the hookups were right at the back corner of the RV so there was some serious bunching of my rear discharge hose as the front one went almost straight back. I think I am going to try to configure a gutter type system that could be used in all situations.
