Is my 2020 Isata 3 a Unicorn?

A fellow Isata 3 owner came up to me in a parking lot a said my blackwater drain was loose and drooping. I checked it and it is lower than all the other Isatas I have seen but it is not loose. My gen exhaust pipe is different as well. Why? Take a look and see how it compared to your Isata 3.

Thanks

The tank drain looks about right. The generator exhaust is quite different than mine which comes straight out under the generator and the exhaust pipe is black. Your looks like it has an extension.

Mine is a 2017 so could be different. I had to add the sewer hose storage myself as it was not available in 2017. Here is two pictures I had on my phone.

I'd look at this differently. The min slope for drain line is 1/4" per foot. So if the run is 8' long, you need to slope 2". Use that and you can put it where you want.

Good to know. It isn’t a problem and I am not sure why the other owner thought it was loose. May have been the distance and angle from which he viewed. He wasn’t in his RV so I couldn’t make an immediate comparison. The exhaust pipe is a little different and I may look at Onan’s specs and modify along the lines of the others I have seen.
