I've got a 2002 Coleman Santa Fe that I bought used last week. It did not come with a hose for the drain. I just got back from camping world with a 5 foot hose that is not the right size or fitting. Where can I get a drain hose that will fit my camper properly?
Thanks

The drain hose is just a simple, short garden hose. What you may be missing is the 90 degree adapter that goes on the camper.

Where can I get one of these adapters?
Thanks
First off, welcome and congrats on the pup.
If your drain hose is the size of a garden hose, just head off to the local Home Depot, Lowes or whatever hardware store you have nearby. Look for it where they keep the hoses.
But my drain hose is 1 1/2" pipe. I don't know what size drain Fleetwood used in 2002. But if you find it's like mine, I put together my drain out of standard plumbing fittings. Pics are in my link.
I also have a 2002 Coleman and it does need an adapter that I purchased at the dealership for about $2.99. They should know exactly what you need :D .
Fleetwood has a standard adapter to reduce the size of the drain opening to a standard garden hose size. Find a Fleetwood Folding camper dealer and they will be able to help you. Congratulations on the new camper.:)
Go to Home Depot. Purchase a 1 1/2 inch plastic P trap kit in the plumbing department. Use the part that goes from the trap to the wall and one of the ring connectors. This will attach to the outlet on your camper. Throw away the rest of the kit (don't worry, it's cheap; probably less than the 2.99 adapter from the dealer.) Purchase about a 2' length of reinforced swimming pool hose, 1 1/2 inch or larger size, also at Home Depot. This will friction fit on the P trap adapter and seal nicely. Purchase a 7 gallon Aquatainer at WalMart. Put the hose into the Aquatainer. This rig is simple, cheap and doesn't have to be vented as it's short and 1 1/2 inch from the camper to the tank. No reducing to 5/8 garden hose diameter.
