The Camco Rhino Sewer Adapter Pro has been one of the most hyped RV products in recent memory - but does it live up to the buzz? In this video, I walk through several new Camco Rhino products including the Rhino Tough Tote Pack, the Rhino Sewer Extender Pro, the Quick Set Awning Light Hangers, and the Ultimate Sewer Hose Kit before wrapping up with my honest experience using the Sewer Adapter Pro.
I love the concept of this adapter and how it aims to solve a real problem at the dump station, but in practice I ran into some limitations you’ll want to know about. I’ll also share some alternative solutions for securing a 4-in-1 RV sewer elbow when you’re dumping into an unthreaded pipe.
If you’re shopping for Camco RV gear or looking for practical RV wastewater management tips, you’re in the right place. Stick around to hear my full thoughts and see if this “unobtainium” adapter is worth tracking down.

I went out to Colorado to check out Unique Manufacturing & Marketing's facilities. As expected, they are ALWAYS testing, retesting, and improving their products and it was really cool to see their setup. A huge thank you to Ricky Stewart & Claire O'Grady for showing me around and the behind the scenes insights from Thom Langley and Bryan Hull really rounded out the experience.

X-Chocks: I find them tremendously helpful in reducing the fore/aft movement within our rig and we use the consistently when setting up the RV. They use simple machines (levers and screws) to put pressure on the tires when placed between them. You can use them for tandem or triple axle trailers. Read on to learn more and hear why I like them (with a HUGE WARNING ⚠️) or skip to the bottom for affiliate links to check current pricing.��

I’ve had discussions with some folks that say they don’t feel much difference when they’re installed - after some investigation it seems that once you get closer to the 15,000lb rig size (and above) their stabilization is less dramatic. Which makes sense if you think about it: a 200lb adult moving around inside a 10,000 lb rig is going to affect the RV more than that same 200lb person in a 15,000lb trailer. The opposite will be true as you reduce trailer weight as well - so a tandem axle weighing 7000lbs may see more dramatic stabilization purely because it has the opportunity to stabilize more movement at the wheels.��

The BAL X Chocks are made in the USA, and from what I can research - are the original design of this style. They’re coated in zinc to inhibit rust and if you look closely - the little holes at the top of the screw can accommodate a padlock for added security. ��
They come in two sizes: the regular fits tire spacing from 1 3/8” to 10” and the X-Tended Fit accommodates tire spacing of 10” up to 17” apart. The majority of trailers will use the regular ones - but there are a few brands out there that have wide stance axle placement and that’s where you’d use the X-Tended Fit versions.��You can get X Chocks as pairs or singles - I personally see the most value in using them on both sides of the RV - so for my tandem axle rig we use two. If we had a triple axle we’d need four.�

Now the unfortunate part, or rather the confusing part: they’re called “chocks” because they reduce tire movement - but they are not, and do not replace, parking chocks because they do not touch the ground.

⚠️ Therefore, (WARNING) always use X Chocks in conjunction with ground contact chocks - as X Chocks are purely for stabilization and reduced movement. I’ve discussed this with BAL and they confirmed - please don’t use them in place of ground contact parking chocks.��

How do you use them?

Basically install them after the trailer is ground chocked, disconnected, and level. It’s easier to install them before slides go out so you don’t have to crawl under.��

If you manually level your trailer:
1. Position and level your trailer in the spot that you desire using ramps, blocks or other secure ways of leveling the trailer
2. Place ground chocks behind at least one wheel on each side. I personally like two on each side - can’t hurt, is cheap, easy, and effective
3. Unhook trailer from tow vehicle
4. Place the X Chocks between the tires and using the included manual tool or ratchet & socket (not a drill or impact - you can’t feel the pressure) crank them out until you feel the resistance in the handle become tight
5. Finish setting up the rest of your trailer and enjoy a more stable rig!
6. Sometimes you will need to add a tad more tension to the chock when the tires cool down and inflation pressure reduces: give them a quick in a few hours or the next morning
7. When you are ready to hook up and leave: bring in any slides and remove the X Chocks. The ground chocks are still in place and will assist you during hooking up to the tow vehicle�

If you auto-level your trailer:
1. The same general sequence, but you'll need to follow your auto level system instructions - most likely swapping the chocking and leveling steps. So it might be to chock, disconnect from the tow vehicle, then auto level - after you're chocked and level thats when you'd install the X Chocks.

After three years and four months of UV and wind exposure, my original electric RV tongue jack cover finally bit the dust, and I didn't hesitate to replace it with the exact same one. This universal protective tongue jack cover from Bouge RV is absolutely simple. It's made from a 600 D waterproof fabric with dual draw strings that cinch tight from both sides of the shaft underneath the jack motor, which means it's not coming off.

The first one did a great job of protecting my jack motor and didn't leave any staining or marks yet successfully stopped the UV rays from breaking down the plastic on the tongue jack head. What I liked about this simple jack cover is that it doesn't need to be removed to use the switches so I can raise and lower the tongue jack without removing the cover. I put it on and never took it off.

It's a solid piece of fabric, so the light on the tongue jack becomes unusable. I personally never used that anyway, so it was of no consequence to cover it. If that's a feature that you use, then this may not be the cover that you're looking for, but if you're looking for a simple, durable, waterproof cover for your trailer tongue jack that has withstood over two plus years of full-time travel, then this might be the cover you're looking for.

RV Ovens: Out of the box they’re subpar performers - but we’ve found that adding this pizza stone DRAMATICALLY improves our experience using the RV oven. Instead of a single racing strip of burnt food directly above the single burner - the pizza stone absorbs and distributes that heat more evenly across the whole stone. The result: a more even heat and a better experience with the RV oven ◡̈ ��

We’ve used this stone for years, and its travelled right where you see it for 20K+ miles - it fits snuggly behind two of the wire rack dimples and we’ve not had any issues with movement or cracking. ��

Make sure to measure the specific oven in your rig to see what size stone you should order.

Getting stranded because of a dead battery is never ideal. Jumper cables are ok - but you need another car, you have to be able to maneuver both cars close enough so that the cables can reach - it all becomes a big hassle real quick.

Now, while I still pack jumper cables in both of our vehicles - these lithium jump packs from NOCO are our primary go to solutions. We've used them for ourselves and more often to help others in need of a jumpstart. ��

Bonus - depending on which models you go with, they also double as a HUGE portable battery pack for electronics - just remember to recharge them if you use them - I set a reminder on my phone to keep them topped up each month. It would be insult to injury if you pulled out the jump pack to help emergency start a car and and found a dead pack because you depleted the battery recharging your phone to scroll cat videos and never recharged it for its main purpose.�

They’re 20% off on a Prime Day Sale (7/8-7/11/25) - click the link below to check them out yourself during NOCO’s biggest sale of the year. Don’t get stuck with a dead battery ever again.��

The GBX45 is going to fit most gasoline engines, ( even our Ram 2500, which has a 6.4L hemi) we keep this one in the minivan. We got the big GBX155 to future proof ourselves and be able to help others in the campground - most modern diesel 3/4 and 1 ton pickups are at the top end of 6 liters.��

⚠️OPINIONS REQUESTED:⚠️

I've been using a software to create affiliate product links that show availability at multiple retailers - looks like the attached photo after you click on a link- is this valuable to you or should I just stick with the ubiquitous Amazon links directly?

The click through rates on the other retailers compared to Amazon is minuscule and I'm wondering if in my attempts to provide you options - I'm actually forcing you make one more choice in the process of gathering information/getting to the product listings.

What are your thoughts?
