SilverBack RV Sewer Hose w/ 3" Swivel Fittings and 4-in-1 Clear Elbow Adapter - 15' Long

Video Transcript for SilverBack RV Sewer Hose Kit with Swivel Fittings Review

Colin: Hey guys, it's Colin here at etrailer. Today I wanted to show you guys this RV Sewer Hose Kit from SilverBack.In this kit, it's going to be one, 15' long hose. Basically, it's going to be able to expand and retract very easily. So if we got a shorter distance, like we have right here, you don't have to fully expand it out. But as you can see when I pick it up, let's say you have a drainage system that's very far from your RV, you can just expand it out as far as you need, to get your tanks emptied.The hose itself is going to have a very durable polypropylene construction, so it is going to be a UV resistant, so it's not going to wear down if it's exposed to the sun for a long period of time. And it's also going to have a very protective beading around the outside, that's going to protect it from any damage.

So if you happen to run over it with the RV, or even right here I'll go ahead and step on it, right there, it'll take its shape back. You can see I can still condense it and retract it on command.Now when the hose is not use, it does condense down to 53". Now, that's going to make for very easy storage. You may have a compartment on your RV, specifically for sewer hoses, or if you don't, it's still going to be very compact to store in a tow.Now, it's important to have a versatile way of emptying out both your black and gray water tanks from your RV at a dump station. With this setup, we can easily maneuver around, shrink, and expand the hose as we please.

Now you can see right here, our dump station's only about four feet away from our empty station on our tanks. However, at some campgrounds, if you like to travel a lot and go to different sites at different States, it's all going to be very different. So having that 15' of adjustability is going to come in handy very much.However, if you frequently go to a place where you know you're going to need more than 15' to get your tanks emptied, but you also don't want to use those portable containers, there are extensions available from SilverBack. We have a 5' Extension piece and a 10' Extension. So sometimes it's nice just to have those extra pieces, to make sure you can get your tanks emptied into the dump station.Now, right here we just want to illustrate real quick why the extension pieces could come in handy.

We have our 15' kit right here with our 15' hose, but it's not near enough. We have it fully stretched out. It doesn't even come close to reaching our dump station. So with that 10' extension, if you're not able to get your RV any closer, and because it's not that far, really a portable dump station to transport over would be a waste of energy, when you can just set up one more extension hose. So we'll just grab it and connect it just like that.

Now we have that extra 10', totaling 25, to make sure we can get to our dump station.It is going to come with this clear, 90-degree elbow piece, that's going to allow a easy transfer from the hose into the dump station. That clear housing's going to make sure you can keep an eye on the color of your content that you're depositing into the dump station. That way when it's clear, you're going to know you've cleaned out your tanks very well.Now what's also nice about this setup, is that we have three different types of threading, and at each dump station it's all going to be different. Sometimes they'll just have a straight PVC tube that you'll attach right here. Other times you'll have threaded options. This is going to account for the 3" wide opening, the 3-1/2" and the 4". so it's very versatile. It's going to allow you to utilize this at of variety of dump stations.Now, in some cases, like right now, the gravity is on our side, but more times than not you're going to be at a point where your connection point is sitting much higher than your dump station. So to make sure you have gravity on your side, it's always a good idea to pick up one of these Sewer Hose Support Systems. This one just happens to be from Slunky. You can see right here, even though we have that upward angle, we're just trying to show you guys in case in your certain situation you're going to need this. You can see how it angles all the way down. It goes around the length of our hose, provides a support system, while also letting us use gravity to get our tanks emptied. These are available here at etrailer in many different lengths.Up here where it connects to our RV, you're going to see we have that nice bayonet style connection point. This is going to be pretty standard when it comes to RVs and sewer hose attachments. Basically when we hook it up, we just twist it around the lug nut fixings, like that. What's also nice, is that it's going to twist independently from the hose. That way the hose itself is not going to get caught up when you're trying to properly get it attached to your drainage point on your RV.Now, right here you can see that we have both our gray and black water tanks hooked up to the same point, but it's not going to be the same on all RVs. Right now we just have our one, 15' hose, but if you have two different points where your black water tank and your gray water tank empty, then you're going to probably want to get the two, 10' Hose Kit. It's going to be the exact same thing as this. Instead of one, 15' hose, you're going to get two, 10' hoses. That way you can have them meet at one point to the dump station.Now, if you go with the two, 10' Hose Kit, and you have two different spots where they're coming from, but you only have one slot for your dump station, I'd recommend picking up one of these "Y" Fittings. This is basically going to give you a connection point for both of them, and then one exit point, to make sure that you don't have to disconnect from your gray tank, hook up to your black tank, and then vice versa anytime you want to use those appliances or tools.Well, thank you all for watching, but that's going to do it for our look at the RV Sewer Hose Kit from SilverBack.
