Abstract
A series of height-adjustable pipe-supports are used to lay a flexible conduit such as the sewer line of a recreation vehicle at a gradually decreasing slant above a ground surface. Gutter segments are also used between the pipe and its supports to prevent sagging between them. Each support comprises a substantially hemispherical clamp mounted on a threaded rod that can be adjusted screwed into a pedestal. An intermediary extension can be interposed between the clamp and the pedestal to provide additional height.
