Quick Disconnect Infor.

Yup, Yup, Yup! Have tried all of the above and my old rusty set of Robos are the only way I can hook up my water without leaks spurting off in all directions. My son once bought me quick releases and they leaked more than ever. Now we'll recognize our sister forum members by the Robo grips they use! Sears is missing the boat - they should make them in pink!

I am SO happy to note that I am not the only camper who has trouble making non-leaky water connections! I, too, bought a quick-release connector, and discovered it was leaking inside under the bathroom sink last year, so I have officially retired that now! I need to see what these Robo doodads are, as, for now, I use two wide opening pairs of pliers to try to tighten and loosen the hose, at both ends. I keep thinking I have lost the gaskets, but, when I check, there they still are, as good as new, in spite of the leaks!

I am thinking that someone who can invent a good hand-use tightener for hoses, with really good washers inside, could become rich and famous! Some hoses have those hand-twist things, but they are too small to get a good grip, usually. I still use a 90 degree angle extender/connector on the trailer to keep any leaks falling onto the ground below the connection rather than into the trailer. Come to think of it, I should try hooking my water back up for a test. Since I got back from the KOA, I've not used my water at all. I need to try out my fresh water tank and pump before I leave for the Alburgh Bluegrass Festival, anyway.
