Valterra T05-2285VP Universal Adapter: Seamless Thetford to Valterra Conversion, in White Review

Just the part I needed to connect my Camco 39764 RhinoFLEX drain hose to my 1998 Airstream Excella. I thought all RV drain hoses were the same size. I was disappointed to find that my new RhinoFlex sewer hose was too small to connect to my 1998 Airstream. This part of the adapter was the perfect solution.

My new waste water hose set needed this adapter and it seemed to work fine until the rubber seal came loose and I didn't know until I connected everything and pulled the black tank lever. Oh. My. My goodness. This rubber seal is critical for proper operation! Nothing to repeat and a terrible discovery after just a few uses. It looks like the gasket was held in place with just a small dab of glue.

2 handles. Plastic handles/ears can last me a year or so, then the handles break. I keep spares in stock because handles break. You should have 4 handles. This will hopefully leave enough adapter to work and seal if the handle breaks. I keep buying them even though they don't last long. I'm a regular tourist and spend most of my time on the coast. They are used frequently. I'm sitting in one place for a month or more, which means these adapters will stand up to inclement weather.
