Suggest a sewer hose kit.
We are going to be camping for 9 days at a site with full hookups for the first time in about 3 weeks. Previously we had always done shorter trips and we just used the tanks, and then I used the hose ...

Well, I'm not a Rhino user, but I've never had any serious issues with any of my cheap-o .7 mill brown hoses. I have 7 ten foot lengths and use them in a variety of ways. One is dedicated for use at dump stations, but also gets used when parked for several days, when we have full hook-up sites.
The reason I have so many is because I have 2 sets of valves, spaced about 20 feet apart. I can connect both valves using a Y adaptor and don't have to switch hoses if parked for several days.
Also, we move a lot, and no 2 campsites are ever the same. I want to make sure I have enough hose to reach any location.
Another reason for so many, they last about 2-3 years before starting to get pin-holes. I actually have them on a "purchase new hoses" rotation schedule. Every year, I pick up at least one new hose (usually 2 of them) and toss out the most used one, especially if they spring leaks or get pin holes.
For me, this works.
One trick I always do with my hoses when storing them, is to collapse them tight and put the caps back on. They take up less space that way.
I store them in a plastic foot locker purchased from Wal Mart.
I am now using this grey one at home to transport from the camper to my septic tank via my blue tote. It's permanently located at my septic tank now.
My previous camper. My current one, the two valves are farther apart:
I guess what I'm saying is; Yes, Rhino is probably the best, but used carefully, don't drag them on the ground, and the cheaper ones work just as well and hold up for some time.
