How do you seal a sewer hose

Greetings!!

I've got two valtera screw on adapter on my hose ends. I thought screwing it onto the host would be sufficient.

Alas it is not. The leaks are small, but there.

So how do you seal these hoses. I thought of gorilla glue, but that would be more-or-less permanent. I would end up throwing the ends as well as the host - and those darn things are expensive.

Any better solutions.

Thanks,
Jerald
  • Get a PVC tube as mentioned and run a quality hose through it. I will keep the critters from it.
  • If you are pretty much stationary for a long period of time, why not use PVC and large rubber fittings to make the connections for your sewer? You could probably set the whole thing up for under $30.00 and it would last forever.
  • Hi -
    It is leaking around the threads at both the coach side and the dump side.

    The hose itself is not one of the really nice (expensive) rhino hoses. My experience with sewer hoses is that squirrels (or other critters) bite them. Since we are full time in our home base, my theory was to buy the cheaper hose and just plan on replacing it fairly regularly. The ground connection on the home base (an ex mobile home park) is somewhat unique and requires a unique connection that most likely won't travel. So I'd like to keep that expense down.

    Thanks,
    Jerald

  • Is it possible that the hose ends have been stretched? I use a Rhino system and the hose is very stiff and don't know the construction of the Valtera. The hose that came with my TT was a cheap plastic hose and I never used it. The Rhino system was about $30 for all of the pieces needed so I opted to get a good hose rather than chance the cheap stuff.
