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've been RVing for more than five minutes, you've heard the word "rally." Maybe you've scrolled past one on Facebook, or seen a campground packed with matching rigs and wondered what was going on. But if you've never been to one — or never thought you belonged at one — this one is for you. We sat down with Don Florczyk, the force behind The Flock RV Rally Company , for our Community Spotlight series on Learn to RV The Podcast. We're not going to spoil it here — you need to go listen, because this conversation goes places we did not expect. What we can do is give you the lay of the land: what rally culture is really about, whether you need to own a specific brand to show up, and where The Flock is headed in 2026 and 2027. Grab your camp chair. Let's talk about it.
