Originally had a travel trailer with low sewer drain. Most of time was trying to drain uphill. Have now had the Sewer Solution for two years and don't believe I would ever go back to slinky. Also carry the slinky for dumping where there is not water. New trailer is much higher but still use sewer solution. WORKS GREAT.

I have several hoses that were in the RV's when purchased so brand name's are unk. We just moved to an '11 Greyhawk that the previous owner traded for an SUV. He wouldn't need anything RV so just left it all.

Valterra with twist lock couplings. Three 10' sections, that way I'm never too long or caught short. Had 'em for 6 years no problems. Think the reason I bought them was because of the tube thickness (18 mil) slightly better than Blueline or Rhino Flex.

I switched to Blueline last year after my Rhinoflex split.

If you leave a Rhino out in the sun for a few months it cracks, it doesn't have RV protection. I use a hardline if I'm going to be in a sunny spot for a while.

I use my Sewer Solution when time and amenities permit. At the dump station I use the Rhino-Flex.

I can attest to this. I was lucky to have one last a full season (5-6 months), I also go hardline if were over a few weeks.

Rhinoflex the overwhelming favorite among JOF members.

I use the Blueline system. it came with 2 10' hoses in the kit. Have been using it with our Northern Lite Camper for 6 years and never had a leak. The "free" one that came with the starter package split in the first year. (happily it was during the grey tank dump. ). Going to get another Blueline kit for the TT.

I bought a Rhino Flex right after we got our first trailer, it didn't take long until the connections began to leak a little and I thought the sewer connection was a bit of a hassle. So after some time with this I bought a Dominator kit and like it much better, no leaks and the sewer connection is much easier. Rhino Flex is now in the spares bucket.

My "Other" vote explanation is Polychute.

Dominator hoses rules, You cant go wrong with the Dominator !!!

I've had a Rhino Flex for a while and have 0 complaints.

When at the dump station after an extended weekend of boondocking, the dealer supplied POS (pun intended) hose is good enough for the next year or two.


At home (grey water only and not much of it) a section of lawnmower damaged garden hose gets the wastewater clear of where anyone will walk.

Bumped up, relevant to new thread.

I have and use the Rhino. 4+ years and it looks almost like it did when new. Of course, I've never stored it in the rear bumper. I have a plastic container where I store all my dump station stuff, and it includes the Rhino, an here to fore unused extension (recent purchase), non potable water hose for the black tank flush, and any necessary connections.

With my other trailer, I had to carry this tub in my truck. With my 23RB, I keep it in the large outside storage compartment in the right rear.

I can see why the Rhino hoses are popular. Based on that, I was frustrated with my existing blue 10' extension hose during our last trip, so I picked up a 10' Rhino. Also got a Valterra threaded connector to replace the Camco connector on my existing main sewer hose, one of those tan ones; this is the hook end that normally connects to my trailer's sewer outlet. Guess what??? Rhino and Valterra won't work together!!! Either the inside Rhino is a fraction of an inch too large, or the outside Valterra is a fraction of an inch too small, or both. I could not get those suckers to connect!!! Doggone it, I'm not going to spend the $$$ to replace everything. I also discovered that my Camco sewer hose rinser won't mate with the dang Valterra bayonet connector. This has me ticked off. I like those threaded Valterra connectors - no more fooling with clamps, etc. But aren't these things supposed to be made to freaking STANDARDS???

OK, vent mode off.

I have a RhinoFLEX while camping with hookups and at dump stations. For home use I have a Sewer Solution since my home sewer cleanout is too far and not enough slope to use a standard sewer hose. I'm very happy with both products, each for their own purpose.
