We had an expensive Valterra kit that I thought worked really well for almost 10 years. It came with 2 10' hoses, some adapters and a graduated elbow for the park sewer connection. I stepped on one of the hoses once and it still worked fine even though it was a little flattened in one spot. After 10 years it developed a pine hole leak in one of the hoses, so we bought the RhinoFlex.
I sure wish I bought the RhinoFlex instead of the Valterra. We have 1 15' hose. I like that it can be compressed and stay compressed. If I only need 6 feet of hose, I can compress it to 6' long instead of having to snake it around the camp site to keep good flow. The material it is made out of is definitely stronger and should resist puncture from small stones and the like. I don't think it would survive being stepped on though as it is more rigid.
I don't think I'd buy anything else.
