Problems solved by technology

An unpleasant task is interfacing the sewer connections.
This approach may be very unsanitary and unpleasant as well as an invitation to a disaster, i.e. hose coming loose, connection failure, valve breaking, etc. which may result in the user getting wet, the campground becoming contaminated, and embarrassment for all.
This presents a problem.

Embodiment Construction

[0023] A waste evacuation system for a vehicle is described.

[0024] The invention in one embodiment may help eliminate some problems associated with transferring waste from a RV to a ground waste facility. Components are arranged in a special enclosure, for example a service bay, located under the living floor of the RV. The sewer hose is connected to the RV and stored in a separate tube or area isolated from other components. A special hose nozzle is attached to the other end of the hose. The user opens a small door, lifts the nozzle by a handle, and pulls the hose nozzle to the ground connection, inserts the nozzle and releases a nozzle flap door inside. By pushing a couple of buttons, or pulling a waste valve handle, the waste is transferred from the RV holding tanks to the ground service. When completed the hose nozzle flap door is secured, the nozzle lifted out of the ground connection and the hose is retracted back into its storage tube.
