Maybe my drinking water hose? I will admit that I kept the good section of the slink sewer hose. Bonus: the garden hose takes up a lot less room so I created space in the bumper for something else. Step 9: Tuck away the garden hose that will now serve as the sewer hose. One note: I’d recommend doing this conversion while you have a little gray water in the gray tank so that you can test everything when you are done. Below are the step-by-step, easy instructions. And then, six months later–finally–I ended up converting the sewer hose to a garden hose. I dug around in the old gray matter to remember what I’d learned at the Oliver rally. I mean, replacing the sewer hose, likely, meant more cracks a couple years down the road. That’s when I remembered this hack and decided converting the sewer hose was the best solution. And then contemplated buying a replacement section of hose. Plus, temperature changes from one stop to the next. Probably a combination of the push-and-pull of the slinky action based on me extending it to connect to the sewer drain and smooshing it to get it stored away in my bumper after unhooking. But, upon further investigation, I found two cracks (each a couple inches long) in the plastic of the slinky sewer hose. Luckily it was only gray water.Īt first I thought it was a loose connection and the water dripping off the hose was just because that was the lowest point. However, one day during my stay in Deming, New Mexico, I emptied the gray tank and discovered water coming out of the hose. I may not have decided that converting the sewer hose was a good idea just because. Why I Decided Converting the Sewer Hose Was a Good Idea And, even after nearly three years on the road, I’ve also never seen someone else have this sewer set up. So, here’s a shout-out to her because I never heard of such a thing. This was a hack I heard about from Paula, another Oliver owner, at the 2019 Oliver Travel Trailer owners’ rally. In other words, this is probably only a good option for those with composting toilets, cassette toilets or other set up where you are only draining a gray tank. But, I have to say, even with one of those, I suspect a garden hose as a sewer hose wouldn’t be a wise idea. Now some black tanks come with a macerator that chops all the solids into small pieces. And that would be one nasty mess to unclog and clean. The bulk of a black tank (even if you don’t throw toilet paper into it) risks not fitting through a garden hose. The reason is that you should not consider converting the sewer hose to a garden hose if you have a black tank.

That 5-part series is listed at the bottom of the post. Technically, this is a hack that I should’ve included when I did the series of posts about the composting toilet.
