Sleepless, do you think the HydroFlush would fit in the same Sanitube as the clear connector? I'm curious also at the need to flush grey tank?

Tanks.

Fred, I can't answer your first question.  I have had my HydroFlush for many years, long before built-in black tank rinsers were available, and even then I would rinse out the grey water tank while I was at it.  I still rinse out my grey water tank, although it is probably not necessary.  But more importantly, I use the HydroFlush after I close the grey water valve.  The strong flow of water flows through the sewer hose, really flushing the hose clean, much cleaner than by just letting the grey water flush it. 

Prior to removing the sewer hose from the black water valve, I use the same procedure so the hose is "almost" sanitized before I move it to the grey water valve.  (Yes, I realize that flushing the hose does not sanitize it, but it makes it more pleasant to handle).

BTW, there are at least 2 models of the HydroFlush, one has a 45 degree angle, the other a 90 degree angle.  I use the 45.

That makes perfect sense. Thanks, Bob. Yeah, getting/keeping the hose "clean" is a challenge.

Were you able to find black fence posts, or did you paint yours. I can't find black anywhere, not even on Home Depot's website.

Thanks!
