Sewer connection type

[77HORNET]

What brand of sewer connection is on a 2012 Crossroads Slingshot GT29BH? We are getting back into camping and I remember there were two different brands. One was Thetford & the other I cannot recall.
Thanks

Does not matter. They all share the same design to connect to the rv. . I myself prefer the Camco RhinoFLEX. Very durable.

So there’s a standard type now? Well that’s great to know! Thanks man!

If you're referring to where you connect the hose to drain holding tanks then as far back as I can remember that connection has been the same in my 40+ years of rving. So most any brand of rv sewer hose you like will connect. I preferred the Viper, just as durable as the Rhino, but much more flexible.
If there's another connection you're questioning then we may need pictures of that connection or at least a better description.

Up to the 90s there were 2 brands and they weren’t compatible. One was white, one was black. So which type is used now? Thetford or the other brand?

All brands are now the same connectors. Buy any brand you want, your choice. There are cheap ones and more expensive ones. You get what you pay for. So, any of the hoses will work.

Go to Walmart, Amazon, or your local Rv dealer. Does not matter.

I remember the other brand now. It was Valterra. So I’m guessing the standard now is one of those 2 brands.

I'm trying to tell you, ALL brands have the same connection. You don't have to buy a Valterra or Thetford.

I’m sorry Mark, I got all that from the beginning. Was just conversing about the way it used to be.

I have had both brands and some knock offs but they all fit the same. The only difference was in the dump valves themselves. Parts from would not the other.

The "Connection has always been the same" . Some have 2 "ears" and some have 4 but they are all the same size and connect the same.

I can remember when campers had no holding tanks. You used the campground pit -potties. My parents had one camper with a "chamber pot "style toilet.. WHOO HOOO indor plumbing!

No need to apologize. Just wanted to make sure you're free to chose the brand you like.
