How long sewer hose?

Like a lot of things, it depends.

We have one of those fulltime connected hoses & electric knife valves. We have to be within 5' of the dump hole without resorting to using an extension, which we don't carry.

Sometimes the FHU site has the dump located at a spot totally unusable by our system. There is always a way around a problem. Because of our systems limitations we always ask for a W/E site & go use the CG main dump station on the way out.

If we come in empty on a 1 or 2 nighter we don't bother dump. Better to let it ride & dump maybe at the next stop.

If you are going to be at a site for more than a few nights you had better carry enough hose for any situation at the site if it is FHU & you need to dump during your stay.

3 ten foot plus extra fittings. 2 stored in a slide out rain gutter inside a 5 inch vinyl fence post.

A 20' hose or 2 -10 footers will get you through most situations. Rarely you may need another 10' for 30'total

We camp a lot but only use the hoses about 4 time a year at those fancy resort places.

we have only one 10 Ft hose.

We carry a 20' and a 10' that can be connected if the need comes up and it has a few times.

I store a 10 footer near the dump outlet and that takes care of 99% of my use, then I have a 20 foot extension stored in the bumper for those long runs.

Can hook them together if needed...if not you don't have a bunch of extra hose laying on the ground that you don't need.

I have a short cheep 5 footer for dump station only use.

I take it you have the 2 x 10' for full hookups?

I'd only thought about using a dump site. And I think that's all we'll be using for the foreseeable future. No plans to stay anywhere longer than a week. If I do, I'll get more hose.

I have one that stretches up to about 20 feet. Takes care of about 95% of our situations.
