At some dump stations, well... the only dump station I've ever been to as we've gone on exactly 1 trip, I now know those cinderblock style concrete bricks are not sitting next to the sewer port for decoration. Who knew they have a purpose!
Being new to this on my maiden dump, I hooked up my shiny brand new Camco flex hose to the clear elbow, lifted the hinged style top of the sewer and dropped it in, with the sewer port lid resting on the top of the elbow, and then let er rip.
Turns out the bricks are so when you manually lift the hose to help everything reach the hose exit, the elbow doesn't jump out of the port, dumping um... "stuff" all over the place. Ask me how I know.
20 minutes of spraying cleaner and sanitizer on the rig side, my shoes, the outside of the flex hose, the poor garden hose that was in the wrong place wrong time, the sewer port cap and the literal ground, I was confident it was ready for the next guy. At least there was no line at the station to witness that gem!
