 I purchased a 10 ft. 1 and a half inch flexible drain hose from Camping World ( approx. $25.). It is used to extract waste from RV holding tanks. I am thinking that it will work great as long as you have a septic hole at your camp site. I used a reg water hose before with the same old>SLOW DRAIN < problem. But will try the new hose shortly. I did set up the inch and a half plastic pipe that was on another thread at Popup Times to go into an aquatainer and it worked GREAT so I thought this idea would work as well............The hose fits good and snug on the inch and a half  piece that was fitted to the stock Coleman outlet.....Mike...This will be used for draining grey water from the sink.

 MrBuneezThanks for the idea Mike.
 We do 50% dry camping and 50% full hookups.
 For dry camping I use the Aquatainers with  1 1/2"  pipe, but with full hookups, I have been using a 3/4"  garden hose, with a vent.
 Did the hose from camping world come with a threaded connection on the end, or were you just lucky it was the right size to fit over the threaded connection.
 Does it leak or drip?
 
 I m very tempted to go buy a similar hose, as we will be camping in 7 days with full hookups.

 MrBuneezHi 6........no threads but it fits over inch and a half outlet real nice and snug. I might use a small screw type clamp just for safe keeping. I just fit it over the pipe that would go into my aquatainer. I havent used it yet but seems like it should work......take care, Mike
