I still have mine and use it. It does provide some additional support for the sewer hose. Have had some cases where I could not swing the boom due to obstructions and had to just work around the situation. The boom on mine is held to the metal hardware that allows it to swing by tightening of a bolt that tightens a clamp around the plastic boom. This boom is the same thing that you see in camping world for sewer hose storage with on end cut off. Keystone loves change. That is why models come and go, why features change, then there is the fact that they buy parts in large volumes and work to lower costs all the time. If you feel like removing by sliding boom out of the metal hardware, do so. Just need to store sewer hose somewhere, but buy the thicker walled sewer hose as other don't last long in use.
