    I’ll never chance it. There’s a lot of Po0p (scientific formula of waste) force in that flow.

    I provide the boards, the park has the weight.

    I should have taken pictures. Our first trip the pipe was over a foot out of the ground. The second trip it came out of the ground at a 45 degree angle. I just cut up some 6x6 and that will help hold it down.

    I don't think the little orange camper or piggy would help in either situation. I am hoping that we just got unlucky with the hookups.

    We’ve been using two large zip lock bags( double bag) full of sand for many years to hold down the sanitary elbow. It comes in very handy!

    I bought a pair of tall heavy wool socks at Goodwill and filled one about halfway with crushed rock from my campsite, tied it off with a zip tie and then filled the other half and zip tied it too. That worked great but the sharp edges eventually cut through the wool. So I took the other sock and went to a bulk landscape supplier that carried 1/4" pea gravel and used that. They didn't even charge me for the gravel.

    Some sites we've visited have rocks that you have to precariously balance ... others have some kind of a metal cover that end up holding one edge of your pipe. Every time I end up pulling the tank valve then making a dash to the business end of the pipe to hold it place with my foot.

    Then I came up with this ... it's a simple boat anchor, the type that has two "wings." The sides straddle the slinky perfectly and allow me to securely hold the tube in position. The photo shows the result AFTER I dumped all three tanks. Nice, clean, and dry - ready for the next camper!
    I have one of these:

    My biggest issue is taking a shower when the crappy black water flush hose at dump site cones apart from mine. Even while using a coipler with tightening clasps.

    I like to think I have a very simple solution to holding down the hose. Two of the 4x6s that I carry for jacking and jack/stabilizer blocking have eyebolts in the sides. I carry a light piece of chain with chain splices on it. I chain the two blocks together with the chain, adjusting as needed, to hold the hose down. Two 12” 4x6s is plenty of weight to hold the hose down, and the only extra weight in the trailer is the eyebolts and the chain.

    What happens if you need the 4x6's for both blocking and jacking, and for the sewer hose hold downs?

    Hasn’t happened yet, but it might. Seldom as I’ve needed the hose weight, the advantage of not needing to carry something else is worth it for the weight and space saving. Worst case, the chain could be looped around a couple of pieces of firewood to get the job done.

    That little section of chain is pretty handy to carry. Have used it to fix a broken chair and to tie back an unruly holly tree that was in the way just this year.
