I have had no problem with orings, I leave it hooked up to the motorhome. I think the best part is the valve on the end so the hose does'nt leak in the compartment.. I made a plastic cover for the very end of the valve that sticks into the sewer connection at the rv park, it's the cleanest way to handle the hoses I've seen or found. Problem with macerator systems is they drain the tanks to slow, so the solids have more of a chance to just settle in the tank, rather than carried out with the faster drain of the 3" hose.
that is why you should have a black tank sprayer, regardless of what type of hose/macerator/sewer solution, etc. you use.

- J-RoosterExplorerI'm currently using a Rhino! I bought one of those smart hoses for a back up, but haven't used it yet. My Rhino hose was stepped on by someone and all though it doesn't leak it won't fold back up correctly. The smart hose can be stepped on and will still fold up correctly.
- dkreuzenExplorerI have used one for the last 4 years and I really like it. The smooth inside surface is nice. The O-rings can be an issue so you have to pay attention so you don't lose them. I use some sticky grease on the O-rings every year and it helps keep them in place. Probably the best hose out there but it's expensive.
- hone_eagleExplorerGot a macerate r too - horses for courses
- JimM68ExplorerI'm with bumpy on the macerator.
otherwise, rhino make a fine hose for way less than $160. - Dog_FolksExplorerGoogle it and you will see a number of reviews.
Here is a link to a previous discussion here on this forum: Sewer Hose
Hope this helps. - hone_eagleExplorerGot one very good hose but only time will tell if they are 'worth it',impressively made and they claim will withstand a weedwacker ,Iam not going to test that.
Smooth inside it has already outlasted all other hoses I have tried so if it lasts 5 more years I am even.
One complaint- the storage container su*ks large cylindrical objects. - BumpyroadExplorerthat will go a long ways towards a macerator pump. will buy a sewer solution. no more stinky slinkies.
