Recommended Sewer Hose Length(s)?

Although having read multiple very informative threads here related to sewer hose I have not seen a recommendation on what hose length(s) I will need. I am focusing on the RhinoFlex Sewer Hose Kits - both 15' and 20'. The 20' is actually two 10' sections plus fittings for the business ends. Will the 20' be too long to easily fit in the TT bumper? Is 15' easier to handle and store and then keep a 10' section 'just in case' it is needed? Your comments please. Thanks.

I carry 2 10' sections of RhinoFlex in my trailer bumper without issue. I also keep a spare new 10' section of hose in one of the compartments just in case one fails or you get to a site that you need the extra length.

I carry a 5' and a 10' Rhinoflex, with fittings to tie them together. They have always been enough.

I have another small piece that I can stick in the middle if needed.

We have a 20' and 5' extension in the bumper. Have never needed the extension but have loaned it out a couple of times (seems a little gross doesn't it?).

I have 2 of the cheap 20' hoses in our bumper. I have one on each side of the bumper. I have never needed the second 20' hose in a campground full hock up spot. I have been going to buy the better hoses one of these days. If I needed a third hose, I would tie a string to the end and push it into the center of the bumper, if I needed it I could pull the string and git it out. A person would have to have extra connectors to hook sewer hoses together.

We have a 10-foot Rhino as our primary hose. Reaches the dump hole 90 percent of the time. Have another brand 10-footer for longer reaches (hook them together). Both fit inside our bumper fine.

I have a 15' Rhino as my primary as well as a 10' and 5' spares, just in case. I store mine in 2 Valterra EZ Hose Adjustable Hose Carriers that I bolted underneath the camper.

I have a 15ft Rhino which worked well for about 99% of the campgrounds that we frequent. I do have a 10ft extension though that I keep on the bumper together with 15ft for those rare occasion that I need them. Often times I need the extension when hook ups are biased towards the middle-front of the pad.
