Abstract: A hand tool for use to assist in connecting and operating the sewer hose and sewer gate valve of a recreational vehicle is disclosed. The tool is in the form of an elongated rod having a handle at one end and a two prong hook at the other end. An upright wall member is mounted on the rod adjacent to and facing the hook. A cross bar member is mounted on the rod at a position intermediate the ends thereof, and the cross bar is provided with a flange at each end for use in engaging the sewer hose connector arms normally installed at the end of a sewer hose. The two prong hook and adjacent wall member are advantageously employed in opening and closing the sewer gate valve.
