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.

What an exciting time for you! Whether you’re in the dreaming stage, the planning stage, or the “you’ve already gone and done it” stage, it’s exciting! There are so many things to consider and figure out before you can launch into full-time living. One of the most asked questions is how to make money while full-time RVing. This article is by far NOT the only ways you can find to support yourself and family - but it is all the ways I have found when answering this question for myself. When we launched, I was a professional, successful wedding photographer/videographer. It was our family of 6’s only income. My husband was my second shooter, and I had a whole team of photographers/videographers also working for us. I was consistently shooting about 6 weddings per weekend, all over the country. We made a decent living - and I was proud of that business, as I’m fully self-taught and built it from the ground-up, by myself. Then COVID hit. We were already full-timing at this point. My husband had been a stay-at-home Dad for 4 years, by now, as we had 3 kids under 5 before we launched. COVID devastated us financially - as it took our only career right out from under us. Of course, I still have that business to this day - ( photographyandbeyond .com ) but when you have over 300 weddings on the calendar for the year 2020, and all but a handful cancel - needing to refund most of what people paid in, cancel contracts for our team members, etc. You can just imagine how detrimental that was to our only income stream. I found myself with really no job, and a family of 6 to support. I should also let you know that the only degree I have is an associates degree. I’m one of those people that went to school plenty of times for different majors, and then decided I wasn’t passionate about that and switched to something else, never finishing a single one. The first thing I did – which is what everyone can do - is go to Indeed.com , flexjobs.com , ziprecruiters.com , etc. and I applied for every single remote job that I was qualified for. It didn’t matter what it was. If I had the qualifications, I applied. Some were not even remote. I figured, if I could get someone on the phone and tell them my situation, especially during COVID, maybe the non-remote position would turn remote for me.
