My Camper has Two Sewer Hookups

Doug S • April 23, 2025

My Sabre 36QBOK has a total of 5 waste water tanks and two sewer connections on the side of the camper. Cue scenes from RV … only now times TWO! Once I got down to business, it hasn’t been so bad. Here’s my setup.

From each of the sewer connections on the camper, I directly connect to a clear plastic elbow (kind of gross yes, but my dumping procedure has me flush with water until it’s just clear water running out and you can’t see that without a clear piece):

From the clear connection, I have hooked up my hoses. I carry two 20′ lengths and two 10′ lengths of hose. I actually wouldn’t mind carrying a pair of 5′ lengths to give me a little more flexibility:

I bring the hoses together using a wye (fancy talk for a “Y”). It has swiveling connectors which supposedly help (shrugs shoulders):

And that finally goes to my 90° adapter that connects to the site’s sewer connection. The one I have is nice because it twists and locks (if the site connection is threaded, of course). I bought mine as part of a “sewer kit” like this one:

About the only other thing that I’ve done was that I had to buy a sewer donut for some setups where the sewer connection isn’t threaded. You mash it in and then mash your hose/adapter through it. I’ve had nothing but bad luck with them, but they’re required some places.

Fort Wilderness vs. Off‑Site RV Resorts vs. Hotels

I never imagined how deeply the open road could affect me until I swapped four walls for four wheels. Trading deadlines for landscapes, we set off with nothing but a loosely mapped route and an itch for something more meaningful than routine. What followed wasn’t just a road trip—it was a quiet unraveling of who I thought I was, and a steady becoming of who I never knew I could be. It expanded my mind and my sense of self and taught me more than I ever imagined it could. When we decided to pack up our lives and hit the road in an RV with our kids, everyone thought we were slightly unhinged. “How will you survive that much togetherness?” they asked. “What about school? What about space?” They weren’t wrong to worry—but they were wrong about what we’d find out there.

For years, we resisted getting a water filtration system. Between the cost, the setup, and the uncertainty of how well it would work on the road, it just never made it to the top of the priority list. Instead, we did what a lot of travelers do—we filled 5-gallon jugs and grabbed cases of bottled water to make sure our family had something safe to drink. And let me tell you... we wasted SO. MUCH. PLASTIC.
