We carry two sewer hoses that accordian out to 20 feet - one to back up the other in case one shoud develop a leak while on the road (as one did a few years ago). We also carry a sewer hose extension that accordians out to 10 feet ... so our total contiguous sewer hose length available is 30 feet (one of the 20 footers with the 10 foot extension on it).
Our 30 amp hookup cable is 30 feet long. We also carry along a heavy duty 50 foot 20 amp extension cord capable of running the RV's air conditioner or the RV's microwave (just not both at the same time). Plugging the 30 foot cable into the 50 foot extension cord gives us a 80 foot cord length for powering everything in the RV except for the air conditoner and microwave at the same time. We have had to use this 80 foot electrical setup once in a commercial RV campground's overflow area.
We also carry 100 feet of fresh water hose with us - one 50 footer and two 25 footers. We have had to use all of this length a few times to fill the fresh water tank on our RV trips.
We carry all the above along in our 24 foot Class C motorhome. We try to have several options and be as much as possible ready for anything on our trips, as we hate to have "minor emergencies" create unnecessary headaches.
