1. Is the 4' hose fully extended and the Base Camp bag raised well (best is 4') above the recepticle container? 2. There is a plastic clamp on the hose. Make sure this is in the relaxed position. 3. Just finished dinner and wine and I'm out of ideas. I have never heard of one of these that did not work----but "excrement occurs!" 4. Contact Backcountry.com
