Sadly, the Rhino hose is probably the most popular on the market, and the RV manufacturers persist in making "storage areas" and not just the bumpers, that the hoses don't fit in. I really don't think the RV designers are RV people at all, that is why you see some of the crappy, poorly thought out designs in RVs.
As far as slides go, the truth be known, the voltage drop thru the average vehicle wiring to the 7 pin at the rear bumper and the continued wiring inside, will probably not produce enough voltage in excess of the battery to be of much use, but it certainly won't hurt.
At home or a campground with power, just plug the shore power in first and the converter can be used to assist the battery a bit.
