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):

A clear plastic container with a handle on a white background.

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:

It looks like a hose with a light attached to it.

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.

If you’re a full-time RVer, you already understand something most people don’t....that life doesn’t always go according to plan. You’ve chosen freedom. Flexibility. The ability to wake up in a new place whenever you want. But with that freedom comes a unique responsibility—especially when it comes to your health insurance. Because when you’re constantly on the move, having the right coverage isn’t just important… it’s critical. And recently, I was reminded exactly why.
