Connecting your RV dump hose is an essential part of maintaining your motorhome. This short guide will walk you through the process, ensuring you handle it efficiently and hygienically.

Steps to Connect Your RV Dump Hose

    • Unhook the hose, replace the cap on the sewer connection, and store the hose properly.
Tips for Safe and Clean Dumping
