Abstract
In accordance with a disclosed embodiment of the present invention, a sewer line assembly for a vehicle, such as a recreational vehicle or the like, having a sewer line outlet, includes a housing mounted on the vehicle, and a sewer discharge line mounted in axial alignment with the housing in-fluid communication with the vehicle sewer outlet. The sewer line contracts axially to a short storage configuration to be supported at least partially within the housing. The line expands axially to a long sewage-conveying use configuration. A discharge nozzle connected in fluid communication with the discharge end of the sewer line couples to a remotely located sewer inlet.

A sewer line assembly for a vehicle having a sewer outlet, comprising:
- an L-shaped housing for mounting substantially flat against the vehicle;
- a swivel coupler attaching one end portion of the housing to the vehicle for permitting the housing to rotate about an upright axis outwardly away from the vehicle to cause an outer end portion of the housing to extend outwardly away from the vehicle in a use position;
- an expandable sewer line mounted at least partially within the housing in fluid communication with the sewer outlet for extending from the outer end portion of the housing to a remotely located sewer inlet;
- and
- the housing and the swivel coupler including a sewer line coupler connected in fluid communication with the sewer outlet, and an annular member fixed to the housing for rotating about the sewer line coupler.
