Sewer Hose Cleaning and Storing

What you guys doing with your sewer hose that your so worried about how clean it is? I thought it was just used as a poop chute. Does it have some other purpose I didn't know about?

I add a quick rinse of the stinky slinky, but yeah, that about covers it.

x2.

I do a more thorough cleaning when I return home.

I cannot imagine what that must smell like after a week or so in the sun. I doubt the stench will ever come out of that bumper carrier. After a while you will have to deal with built on gunk and rust.

Re-read my post, I didnt say I put it in the bumper, but the PVC hose carrier thats mounted to the top of my bumper so there is no gunk or rust. Honestly I never noticed any odor at all from it and I have been doing it like this for 15yrs.

I did end up having to buy a new sewer hose for the camper. It has the clear 90deg fitting for the end. Works better than jamming the hose into the dump tank, but DO NOT watch the black tank dump first thing in the morning with a hangover!

That's far to simple for a bunch of people on here and those taking 20-30 min to dump some shiiiiit, but yeah that's what I do too.

I like to let mine drag along the road for a few miles to air out :)

I see many other RVers do the same thing judging by the number of sewer hoses I see along the interstate.

The sewer hose is one RV part I have never seen next to the highway.

Actually I am glad you mentioned this. Since I have a rope holding my sewer pipe under the bumper I should replace it. I have used the same piece of rope for 7 years and 80K miles.

Dump the black first then the grey and store it in my basement compartment. No extra flushes for me.

This except we put it in a black garbage bag before storing.
