RV Waste Management Device
Accidental spills during sewage dumping can easily ruin your day. Dump Buddy was created by RVers who sought to alleviate this problem. The device fastens to the sewage pipe in the ground and then connects it to your sewer hose. Tighten the knob around the sewer pipe, flip up the second collar and tighten it around the sewer hose, and the rubber material keeps everything in place. The Dump Buddy is made of plastic, so it’s easy to clean. It comes with a mesh pouch and a nylon carry case with a strap. Price is $39.95.
