Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A liquid water materials system for a vehicle comprising: 
 (a) a storage container for liquid waste materials;    (b) an elongate tubular member through which said waste materials may flow, wherein said elongate tubular member has an end;    (c) said end of said elongate tubular member is movable from a first position to a second position, wherein said end when in said second position is further distant from said vehicle than said end in said first position; and    (d) wherein said movement of said end is in response to air pressure exerted within said tubular member.    
   
   
       2 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said storage container includes a first container and a second container.  
   
   
       3 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said first container stores toilet sewage and said second container stores shower waste water.  
   
   
       4 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said storage container is vented to the exterior of said vehicle.  
   
   
       5 . The system of  claim 3  further comprising a first valve interconnected to the output of said first container and a second valve interconnected to the output of said second container.  
   
   
       6 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising an air tank that provides pressurized air for said movement.  
   
   
       7 . The system of  claim 6  further comprising first check valve interconnected to the output of said air tank and a second check valve interconnected to the input of said air tank.  
   
   
       8 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising a valve that selectively causes said movement of said end.  
   
   
       9 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising said end of said elongate tubular member being movable from said second position to said first position, wherein said end when in said second position is further distant from said vehicle than said end in said first position, wherein said movement of said end is in response to air pressure.  
   
   
       10 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising said end of said elongate tubular member being movable from said second position to said first position, wherein said end when in said second position is further distant from said vehicle than said end in said first position, wherein said movement of said end is in response to air pressure.  
   
   
       11 . A liquid water materials system for a vehicle comprising: 
 (a) a storage container for liquid waste materials;    (b) an elongate tubular member through which said waste materials may flow, wherein said elongate tubular member has an end;    (c) said end of said elongate tubular member is movable from a first position to a second position, wherein said end when in said second position is further distant from said vehicle than said end in said first position; and    (d) wherein said movement of said end is slidably engaged with said vehicle free from engagement with external ribs of said tubular member.    
   
   
       12 . The system of  claim 11  wherein said storage container includes a first container and a second container.  
   
   
       13 . The system of  claim 12  wherein said first container stores toilet sewage and said second container stores shower waste water.  
   
   
       14 . The system of  claim 11  wherein said storage container is vented to the exterior of said vehicle.  
   
   
       15 . The system of  claim 13  further comprising a first valve interconnected to the output of said first container and a second valve interconnected to the output of said second container.  
   
   
       16 . The system of  claim 11  further comprising an air tank that provides pressurized air for said movement.  
   
   
       17 . The system of  claim 16  further comprising first check valve interconnected to the output of said air tank and a second check valve interconnected to the input of said air tank.  
   
   
       18 . The system of  claim 11  further comprising a valve that selectively causes said movement of said end.  
   
   
       19 . The system of  claim 11  further comprising said end of said elongate tubular member being movable from said second position to said first position, wherein said end when in said second position is further distant from said vehicle than said end in said first position, wherein said movement of said end is slidably engaged with said vehicle.  
   
   
       20 . The system of  claim 11  wherein said movement is in response to air pressure.  
   
   
       21 . A liquid water materials system for a vehicle comprising: 
 (a) a storage container for liquid waste materials;    (b) an elongate tubular member through which said waste materials may flow, wherein said elongate tubular member has an end;    (c) said end of said elongate tubular member is movable from a first position to a second position, wherein said end when in said second position is further distant from said vehicle than said end in said first position; and    (d) wherein said movement of a majority of said tubular member is slidably engaged with said vehicle over a majority of the distance between said first position and said second position.    
   
   
       22 . The system of  claim 21  wherein said slidable engagement is freely slidably engaged.  
   
   
       23 . The system of  claim 21  wherein said storage container includes a first container and a second container.  
   
   
       24 . The system of  claim 23  wherein said first container stores toilet sewage and said second container stores shower waste water.  
   
   
       25 . The system of  claim 21  wherein said storage container is vented to the exterior of said vehicle.  
   
   
       26 . The system of  claim 21  further comprising a first valve interconnected to the output of said first container and a second valve interconnected to the output of said second container.  
   
   
       27 . The system of  claim 21  further comprising an air tank that provides pressurized air for said movement.  
   
   
       28 . The system of  claim 27  further comprising first check valve interconnected to the output of said air tank and a second check valve interconnected to the input of said air tank.  
   
   
       29 . The system of  claim 21  further comprising a valve that selectively causes said movement of said end.  
   
   
       30 . A liquid water materials system for a vehicle comprising: 
 (a) a storage container for liquid waste materials;    (b) an elongate tubular member through which said waste materials may flow, wherein said elongate tubular member has an end;    (c) said end of said elongate tubular member is movable from a first position to a second position, wherein said end when in said second position is further distant from said vehicle than said end in said first position; and    (d) wherein said end of said elongate tubular member is maintained in a first elevation prior to movement from said first position to said second position, wherein said end of said tubular member is maintained in a second elevation prior to movement from said first elevation to said second elevation, wherein said first elevation is lower than said second elevation, wherein said end of said tubular member is moved from said second elevation to said first elevation prior to moving from said first position to said second position.
