As an avid RVer, Ellen and I spend about four to six months in our 2002 Dynasty, traveling with friends around this great country of ours. We RVers are always looking for things to individualize our coaches as well as arranging “stuff” in an organized, easy to get to way. Being organized lets you carry more “stuff”.

Our coach has most of the bells and whistles and we have added many things in this pursuit. We recently left a Camping World store and spent less than $25.00. A real feat as we usually spend in excess of $100.00 per visit, four to six times a year.

One area of RVing that nobody likes to deal with is hooking up services at RV parks. I had the 50AMP electrical cord reel and remote control added to my coach and would have added a water hose reel had it been available. Dealing with, and storing the electric cable and water hose, has always been a pain. Now it’s a snap to hook up the electric and I continue searching for a place to mount a water hose reel.

As you all know, the third hook up item is the nastiest and most unsanitary aspect of dealing with service connections. I have spent all kinds of money on sewer hoses, supports, endless fittings, and chemicals in an attempt to make emptying the holding tanks less of a hassle. Recently I solved the problem entirely!!!

As it turns out, a friend of mine has been working on this problem for some time in a much more dedicated way than I or my friends had.

The product is called Waste Master, which makes emptying the holding tanks as simple as putting gas in a car. Doug Swarts, president of Phase Four Industries, has designed a complete systems approach to waste evacuation and has been working with RV manufacturers to install the system on new coaches.

Seeing the unit in action convinced me I wanted it on my coach. After much arm-twisting, Doug agreed to retrofit my Dynasty. I worked with his crew, Dan and Marty, to complete the task.

The retrofit started with complete removal of the service bay holding tanks on my coach. New holding tanks were manufactured to get the outlets in the proper position. Minor difficulties were experienced in hooking up the inputs to the tanks, but double-jointed Marty was able to accomplish this task. The installation would be very simple during the manufacturing process of a motorhome – a simple change in design.

The Waste Master system installation went according to plan with air hookups – a new electrical circuit and the heart of the system, the sewer hose, nozzle and enclosure. The enclosure door was painted to match the exterior of my coach and looks like a factory installation. We also were able to take many before and after photographs to document this experience.

We are now on our way, a two and a half month trek across the country. I am having a ball running into my fellow RVers and showing them the cleanest dumping system ever. It’s fast, safe, sanitary and easy to use. The best part of all, Waste Master makes waste removal uneventful.

I’m happy to demonstrate my greatest addition and tell everyone about it. This Waste Master system gets a huge thumbs up from us.
