I had made a comment earlier this week that Northern Tool had discontinued these parts. I called them this morning and determined that only the dust cap and gasket had been removed from the catalog.
You need this item on one end of your 1” hose section:
¥ou need this item on the other end of your 1” hose section:
This would complete one section of hose.
For the connector at the coach you actually need 4 different parts to make that happen.
See this picture:
The part needed on the back side of the mounting plate which I made mine out of a piece of a polypropylene cutting board that you can buy at Walmart or a store of your choice.
For the front you need the following:
This are screwed together thru the hole in the polypropylene mounting board. As an example I have listed one available and most are3/8 to 1/2 inch thick.

The parts that are no long in stock are the Dust and spare gaskets.
The Dust cap is available from Norwesco: Norwesco.com It is now there part number 61266 I have no pricing for that. Need to go to the website.
The spare gasket for the cap is now available from Apache: phone# 866-757-7816 and their part# is 97433098
As for hose I get mine from a hose supply house, or you can purchase it at Lowes:

I will try and get better picture of the current layout I used and how I store the hose.

You always do good work.
But I am wondering if it is really necessary to go to all that expense and labor.
Your parts must be exceeding $100 plus the hose.
I have simply used a 3/4” garden hose for almost 20 years now. I cut it it half and attached the end with the male fitting to a 1” x 3/4” hose adapter at the pump.
I store the other 25’ half with the female end under my propane tank in case 25” is not long enough to reach when I want to dump.
I put a cap on the male end when I am done dumping and slide the hose into a 20” long 1-1/4” pvc pipe mounted alongside my frame to store it.
It is not necessary to clean the hose after dumping. It takes me about 30 seconds to pull the hose and take off the cap when dumping. No need to assemble extensions and clean them after use.
The 3/4” hose doesn’t seem to provide any additional back pressure. I have even attached a cheap 50 foot 5/8” hose to the end when I had to reach a sewer cleanup about 100 feet away at my son’s house.
It pumped just fine through the 5/8” hose as well.

I agree with Emery (AKA Delbert) and think this is the simplest solution. You don't have to fool with disconnects, reels or anything like that.
Here's a link to how it was done.

I've been doing it this way for close to 20 years now.
