Abstract: An apparatus for connecting a drain trough to a building, including a mounting bracket having an elongated mounting portion and a support portion extending outwardly from a side edge of the mounting portion, the support portion including a first portion which extends upwardly along at least a portion of the side edge and a second portion which extends horizontally from a lower portion of the side edge. The apparatus further includes a harness device and a hinge device for hingedly connecting the mounting bracket with the harness device, wherein the harness device is operable to rotate between a first position wherein the drain trough is operable to receive water therein, and a second position in which the drain trough is inverted for cleaning.

Abstract: A hose stabilizing device for a recreational vehicle sewage hose or the like, which includes a body member having a hose receiving opening and an internal chamber therein. The device is selectively movable between an open condition, wherein the hose may be placed in the hose receiving opening, and a closed condition wherein the hose is clampingly held therein. The body member includes a filling device for enabling the internal chamber thereof to receive and hold a ballast material therein, thereby providing sufficient weight to stabilize the hose. The body member is constructed to enable the device to be securely connected adjacent an end of the hose, and either stood up on its side adjacent a sewage receiving inlet, or placed flat directly on top of the inlet such that the hose receiving opening is in alignment with the inlet, thereby stabilizing the end of the hose in proper communication with the inlet.
