There are several manufacturers of the "camlocks". They are also known as "Banjo" fittings. You can buy the Banjo fittings on Amazon. Here are a couple examples
I have this set up, probably very similar to RB, but so far only carry 1 spare. One of these days I will get around to putting a very short extension on the main discharge of the pump with one of these fittings so that it would only take seconds to change out a hose if I had a failure. Currently the spare is really just an extension. I also took off the outlet head and connect it with a banjo fitting and have caps so that nothing leaks out in the bay. The outlet head is sort of a PITA to get out the sewer hole in the pay. I have yet to find a good source that doesn't want an astronomical amount for a second hose with a sleeve. So like many, I bought the second hose and bought a sleeve and put it on. That was a PITA - so if someone figured out an easy way to do it, I would love to hear about it.
I purchased the male/female Banjo couplers with 1.5" threaded female connection. I then purchase a 1.5" to GHC (Garden Hose Connector) one male, one female. I use a standard garden hose (1/2"). I've used it once on my current trip because the CG installed the sewer connection at the front of the site which was too far for my single sanicon hose. I used both the sanicon hose and the garden hose together. This setup worked fine. I actually have two 25' garden hoses in case I need to go further. When dumping I was able to just use gravity which is my normal way of doing things. No issue draining the black take through 1/2" hose. Both toilets are maceraters.
This project had been on the to-do list far too long and I had all the parts in hand (well, most of them), so today was the day. Easy job! In addition to putting fittings on the hose connected to the Sani-Con unit, I also fitted out a spare hose with Banjo fittings as well. What I wasn't able...
I did the RB preferred method and have two hoses with cam locks on both ends and all hookups with cam locks so I have an immediate spare, or immediate extension.
Curious if you can mix and match Cam Locks. Plastic and Aluminum. Most pre-made hoses have Aluminum or SS camlocks. My preference is Plastic or similar composite material.
Thinking to buy a pre-made extension rather than make one with plastic camlocks.
