    Angry fresh water and black water knobs

    the knobs that hold the fresh water and black water hoses need to be updated. People like myself with arthritis in the fingers have a hard time connecting the lines let alone disconnecting them. They need to be bigger in size or something. Same with the connection for the 50 amp electrical connection.

    If you haven't already do so, adding a 90o adapter like the attached will really help.

    Agree with Dave. Don't know about arthitis, but makes it much easier for regular hands.

    I use the 90 degree with quick connects. Makes things easier.

    I added quick disconnect fittings to the fresh water fill, black tank flush, and all of our hoses. Much faster and easier on the hands and fingers.
