Sewer Hose Length?

[ArnoldJ]

Finally found a dump station where my 10' sewer drain hose was too short. I had to do some tricky maneuvering to reach the drain. What length hose do you all carry for using at dump stations? Thanks.

Usual 2 -15 ft. hoses

[NorCal Eagle]

2 - 10 foot hoses.

[Grumpy]

Had a 10' and 2 5' RINO hoses.

X2. Rhino for most uses, “basic” one for extension if needed.

15 'Rino and a couple of 10' extensions if needed . But in never use dump stations, we always get FHU sites..

2 - 10’ hoses.

[ArnoldJ]

So general consensus is 2 hoses... Makes perfect sense. I n my defense though I must plead stupidity because I chose not to use a 15' RhinoFlex hose that I carry in my back bumper for use with FHU. Thanks.

Arn, get a 5' RhinoFlex extension hose to give you 20' total. Both will fit in the bumper.

I pack three 10' RhinoFlex hoses. I have only used two at any given time but like the idea of a spare. I have stretched the two before.

Two 10’ hoses.

Please pardon my ignorance but what is a FHU site?

Full Hook Up

We regularly use 1-2, 10 ft. lengths of the Camco Revolution which typically sell for $15 each. We store four of these inside a standard 96" travel trailer bumper.

Although 1-2, 10 ft. lengths will usually suffice at most campgrounds, when you need more and don't have it--it's not fun. Same issue with power cables. Most of the time a 15-25 ft. power cable is fine. However, when you need more and it's 100 degrees outside---again, it's not fun.

I have a Sewer Solution (which I think is great) and carry 3 x 10’ drain sections. Most often just 1 section is needed and I’ve never needed all 3 in a CG. In storage I can reach the dump by using all 3 sections from my storage slot. The SS can pump 30’ easily. Very convenient when returning from a trip.

This is exactly what I do. I have 2 10' sections in my bumper and one brand new 10' section in a storage compartment just in case.

This is what we carry, and came close only once but used the full length of both and made it. Both fit into our under-bumper vinyl fence post storage, along w/ multiple lengths of vinyl gutter for keeping them off the ground and ease in sloping them appropriately.

Thanks all.

2 ten foot hoses served us well in our class C, but with a 28 ft trailer we found it wasn't long enough if we tried to fit our trailer and truck in a pull through. Needed another 10ft length. So now 3 ten foot hoses.... Also picked up a 30 amp extension. Haven't needed it yet, but we will see.....

This last Spring Break while setting up the campsite, I actually ran into a situation where I thought I had plenty of length. I had to go buy another 10’ kit to add to the 20’ I already had. My TT has a rear hook up and the campsite’s sewer connection was up near the road at the front of the site. It’s also good to have a spare in the event one section cracks. Happened recently too.
