How long sewer hose?
How long of a sewer hose do I really need? For the foreseeable future we intend on only patronizing highly-rated parks that we can research well in advance. I'd assume these would have convenient dump...

Measure the distance from the dump valve on your camper to the tip of the front. Then measure the distance the distance from the dump valve to the tip of the back. Take the longest distance and add 10 feet.
Let's say that distance totals 25 feet. Getting a 5 foot section might be difficult, but 3 10 foot sections are not. Then purchase quick connects between each hose. Use only what you need for your current camp site. But if you need the distance, you can hook the up together. FYI, I carry 50 feet all the time. I like to be prepared for any camping siuation.
For those who say you don't have to worry about the distance because the dump pipes are always right beside your camper ... well ... that's just wrong. Sometimes the dump is at the front of the camper or the back of the camper. You want to make sure you can reach no matter where it's placed. Don't believe me? Look at this campsite we were at a few years ago. These are 2 - 20 footers connected together.... get the idea?
