hmmmm, the BF attaches the regulator to the trailer and the hose to the faucet and then to the regulator......

thoughts? (don't want to highjack the thread though).

"Clear" so you can see that the waste water is running clear & tanks have stopped draining.

With a black tank flush, just a simple (clear) sewer adapter will do - there are various brands...

When cleaning the tanks, you'll need an extra 'garden hose' = yes, get a different color (NOT white),
you don't want to accidentally confuse fresh (drinking) water hose with the other one!
May be cheaper elsewhere, even at dealer cost??

As others have said, 1 sewer hose may not be enough at some c/g's... it's a good idea to carry 2.
You may also need connectors to attach the sewer hoses together, depending on the brand. We carry
a 20 ft & a 10 ft... and can use either, or both, depending on the length needed.

Don't forget a sewer donut... some RV Parks & c/g's require them.

Get a 2nd (inexpensive) water pressure regulator... just in case! While *traveling*, you don't
want to arrive at your 2nd night's destination only to realize that you left your regulator at the
previous c/g... stuff happens!

We use an (exterior) in-line water filter. Various brands, also sold at WalMart, etc.

Hint: attach the pressure regulator (first) to the water spigot, then the in-line filter (if used), then
the drinking water hose, then attach to the RV.

A step-stool... for anyone 5'3" (or shorter) who can't reach the upper cabinets & shelves! Bought ours
at Target years ago... best $10 I've ever spent Light-weight, folds-flat, various colors.

'Special' RV toilet paper is usually more $$ (even at dealer cost??), but isn't really necessary --
just make sure you use a brand that breaks down quickly & is septic tank safe. Try the *jar test*:
fill a p'nut butter jar (or similar container) half-full of water... add 2-3 sheets of toilet paper
you use at home (replace jar/container lid)... shake jar vigorously for 5 seconds. If the toilet
paper breaks apart easily, then it's usually RV friendly. Some of the thicker 'ultra' brands aren't!!


Hope this helps & enjoy your Passport!
