Sewer line hookup

When hooking up your sewee hose should I put the clear elbow going to the ground or should I be hooked up to my camper

It is preferred to put the clear elbow on the exit point of the trailer rather than the end of the stinky slinky.
However, there is no hard and fast rule.
The main purpose of the 'clear elbow' is to see the flow and notice when it is passing clear water while rinsing.

I'm sure you will attract more input and various opinions with this topic.

Hope this helps

Islander

Islander summed it up perfectly. RV end is preferred, but it's really you're preference which end you want it on. Even one on both ends as BandJ has is fine.

My elbow has threads that screw into the sewer pipe, it's meant to go on the discharge end.

The Main issue is use a "Clear Elbow" NOT a "Opaque Type" like RhinoFlex uses! Like the Old Song says,"I can see clearly now,the poop is gone"! Youroo!!
