Is your Garden Hose connection (Lower) than the (Tank) entrance hole? If so what keeps the (Sewage)from running (Out and Down) to the connection? Hose inlet higher than the Tank is proper Location? Youroo!!

The hose comes up higher than the tank . That was the highest point I could mount the connection besides on the skirting and I wasn't going to do that

The check valve in the fourth picture when working right should keep any wastewater from leaving the tank.

Did the exact same thing, location and all. Works great no issues, just have been contemplating putting the hose connector in the lower skirting.

I looked at doing this but the state parks that I camp at do not have hose bib at the dump station.
