I have a 2000 Coleman Utah, and am wondering about the proper drain hose for the 1 12" drain opening.(Grey water) What do you guys recommend? I could get a pvc fitting and attach a hose to that....or do they sell an 1 12" hose? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.......

What I plan to do is get a 1 1/2 inch female to slip coupler, reduce it to 3/4 inch, and put a tee. At the top of the tee, I will put a piece of pvc to use as a vent pipe, raising it above the sink. The bottom of the tee I will probably use a hose adapter and run it into a blue water bottle.

My set up seems to work great. I use 1 1/2" PVC to a sump pump drain. If you stick with the 1 1/2" the whole way, you don't have to worry about the vent. I've got a pic of my set up here (http://www.gallery.pstartech.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=1994). I'm going to add another aquatainer for longer trips.
My Coleman came with an adaptor that took it down to the regular garden hose size.
My Fleetwood came with the adapters to take down both my shower and galley drains to use a regular water hose, (line Maine Camper's Coleman). Here (http://www.popupgallery.com/albums/userpics/10097/normal_Connected.JPG) is the galley hose in action. Here (http://www.popupgallery.com/albums/userpics/10097/The%20Vent.JPG) is a closeup of my version of a PVC anti-syphon vent for the galley drain. That little black plastic elbow is the OEM Fleetwood adapter mentioned above.
I wanted something fast and easy. I used an old sprinkler; cut the stake off and removed the sprinkler head. Then I add .5 inch pipe to the top. No gluing or finding the 7/8
You can get the adapters to reduce the opening down to 3/4 inch and use a regular hose or you can use 1 1/2 inch sump pump hose and standard plumbing fixtures to attach the sump pump hose to the drain and sewer/grey water container.:)

Thanks for all of your replies! I just got this camper a month ago and this weekend is our first trip. I just located the adapter.. (I was wondering what that was for..) I'll use that this weekend....after that I will probably make one of the mods that were posted....Great ideas.

If your adaptor is like mine, you'll probably need two rubber washers on it, one between the ring and adapter and one between the camper fitting and the ring. Otherwise, it leaks like a demon.

You are 100% correct, I lost one of my gaskets on our second trip and have been living on the edge with only one for the last 7 years. I never use my shower so it's worked out ok.
