Camco RhinoFLEX 10ft RV Sewer Hose Extension Kit

Introduction

This manual provides detailed instructions for the safe and effective use of your Camco RhinoFLEX 10ft RV Sewer Hose Extension Kit. This kit is designed to extend the reach of your existing RV sewer hose, ensuring a secure and leak-free connection to dump stations. Please read all instructions carefully before use.

Components

The Camco RhinoFLEX 10ft RV Sewer Hose Extension Kit (Model 39764) includes the following items:

• 10-foot RhinoFLEX sewer hose extension
• Pre-attached swivel lug fitting
• Pre-attached swivel bayonet fitting
• Reusable locking ring

Setup

Follow these steps to properly set up your RhinoFLEX sewer hose extension:

1. Inspect Fittings: Before each use, ensure that the pre-attached swivel lug and bayonet fittings are securely tightened onto the hose. The locking ring on each fitting should be in the 'lock' position.
2. Tightening Fittings: If a fitting feels loose, locate the locking ring. Move the locking ring in the 'unlock' direction (indicated by an arrow). Rotate the fitting in the direction of the arrow to tighten it onto the hose until it is secure. Once tightened, move the locking ring back into the 'lock' direction to secure the fitting.
3. Connecting to Existing Hose: Connect the swivel bayonet fitting of the extension kit to the lug fitting of your existing RV sewer hose. Twist to lock securely.
4. Connecting to RV: Attach the swivel lug fitting of the extension kit (or your existing hose's lug fitting if connecting directly) to your RV's waste outlet. Twist to lock securely.

Operating Instructions

The RhinoFLEX sewer hose is designed for ease of use and durability. Follow these guidelines for optimal operation:

1. Extend Hose: Extend the hose only as much as needed to reach the dump station connection. The hose features secure compression, allowing it to hold its shape once extended or bent.
2. Positioning: Position the hose with a downward slope from your RV to the dump station to facilitate proper drainage.
3. Connecting to Dump Station: Securely connect the other end of the sewer hose (typically with a 4-in-1 adapter, if using a full kit, or directly to a standard dump port) to the dump station inlet. Ensure a tight seal to prevent leaks.
4. Draining Tanks: Open your RV's black water tank valve first, allowing it to drain completely. Then, close the black water valve and open the gray water tank valve to rinse the hose. Close the gray water valve once draining is complete.
5. Disconnecting: Carefully disconnect the hose from the dump station, then from your RV. Always wear protective gloves during this process.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your RhinoFLEX sewer hose extension:

• Cleaning: After each use, thoroughly rinse the inside and outside of the hose with fresh water. Ensure all waste is removed.
• Storage: The RhinoFLEX hose compresses to 39 inches (including fittings) for easy storage. It is designed to fit in standard 4-inch square RV bumpers. Use storage caps (if available) to seal the ends and prevent drips during transport.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the hose for any signs of wear, tears, or damage. Check fittings for cracks or loose connections. Replace damaged components as necessary.
• Durability: The RhinoFLEX sewer hose is constructed from 23 mils of durable polyolefin and reinforced with steel wire for enhanced strength and longevity.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your RhinoFLEX sewer hose extension, consider the following:

• Leaks at Fittings: Ensure all swivel fittings are securely tightened using the locking rings as described in the 'Setup' section. Check the rubber gaskets within the fittings for damage or proper seating.
• Hose Not Draining: Verify that the hose is positioned with a continuous downward slope from the RV to the dump station. Check for any kinks or obstructions in the hose.
• Difficulty Connecting: Ensure the bayonet and lug fittings are clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of RV-safe lubricant to the gaskets if connections are stiff.
