Abstract

A recreational vehicle waste delivery system with lengths of 3D cylindrical non-flexible tube and of 3D cylindrical flexible-tube, a first-coupler and, a second-coupler. The first coupler, the at least one flexible-tube, the second-coupler and the at least one flexible-tube in combination are able to be removably couplable modularly in series to provide an adjustable, modular waste management system for delivering waste from an rv to an in-ground sewer connection when engaged with a disposal fitting of the rv.

Claims (15)

1 . A recreational vehicle (rv) waste delivery system kit comprising:

at least one length of first and a second cylindrical non-flexible tubes and at least one length of first and second cylindrical flexible-tubes each having:

a body defined by: an outer surface, an inner volume, an inner surface, and a tube-thickness; a first male coupler, and a second female coupler;

wherein said first male coupler, said at least one length of first and second non-flexible-tubes, said second female coupler, and said at least one length of first and second cylindrical flexible tubes are able to be removably couplable modularly in series to provide an adjustable, modular waste management system for delivering fluid waste from an rv to an in-ground sewer connection when engaged with a disposal fitting of said rv;

wherein both of said first male coupler and said second female coupler do not comprise bayonet-style-couplers;

wherein said first male coupler and said second female coupler comprise threads and function as threaded connectors;

wherein each first threaded male coupler and second threaded female coupler are able to effectively form a 360 degree water-tight seal in use;

wherein said inner surface of said first and second cylindrical non-flexible tubes comprises a straight-wall;

wherein said inner surface of each first and second cylindrical non-flexible tubes comprises a substantially smooth-wall to minimize friction on flow and so as not to accumulate said fluid waste along said inner surface;

wherein said first and second at least one length of cylindrical non-flexible tubes and said first and second at least one length of flexible-tubes are non-telescopic;

wherein said first and second at least one length of cylindrical non-flexible tubes and said first and second at least one length of flexible-tubes are at least 3 inches in diameter;

wherein said first and second at least one length of cylindrical non-flexible tubes and said first and second at least one length of flexible-tubes comprise PVC, ABS, or Polypropylene material and withstand UV, freezing and heating;

wherein said first and second at least one length of flexible-tubes are each able to turn 180-degrees when bent and maintain the desired positioning during said use; and

wherein a user is able to manipulate said modular waste management system to fit an existing outdoor terrain and available connections via user-preferred adjustment,

wherein the kit further comprises a 90 degree elbow drain pipe to connect to a sewer access pipe; a support stand; a carrying box; a grid framework for inside the carrying box; a cleaning brush; and a set of user instructions.
