Got a new dump hose - good quality.. sold as 20' but came as 2 swivel connection 10' sections, With clear elbow and caps 
sooo.. I'm fine with that
Now I need to decide if I want to try to figure out how to turn the (somewhat ridiculous) slinky in a carrier-pipe factory dump setup into a converted to pvc pipe so I can use a macerator.. at this time. Because Gravity-dump is hard when you are only a handful of inches off the ground..
Pretty sure I can use a flexible pvc 3" collar clamp from the outlet to a piece of pvc pipe.. then something similar on the other end, and a pvc to lug connector.. trim the carrier tube a little (to be able to still use the pin-lift-thingey)
Simple, right?? 
Oh, did I mention the RT is low to the ground, so will require borrowing the neighbor's ramps? lol
Oh yeah.. and I will have to lay on the ground-- where the fire ants are...

One detail. Do you have a dedicated space for this equipment?
That detail can lead to problems.

I think it might be time to get rid of those fire ants. I used to pour dawn detergent mixed with water down the hole

They are EVERYWHERE here. I know of at least 4 colonies around the driveway…. And lucky me- I am Super sensitive to their bite/sting. I welt up bad.
Next, someone will say, just drive the van somewhere else to work on the plumbing.
Ok… like another state?? Lol
They are Everywhere here. Like the mosquitoes…
Just something I will have to deal with.

Try spreading corn meal around the fire ant nest.
Let me know if it works.

Hey Gypsy if you ever find it possible to break away and camp here at my place in Tulia on the way out west for a night or three, consider the option open. BTW are you going to the October LolaPalooza meet-up in Abilene? I registered for it...assuming I still have my trailer I plan to be there.
