Made it 10 years without this happening

Yep. The ghost of happy camping reared its ugly head at me while dumping the black tank. I pulled the blade valve and while the family history was flowing into the sewer, the hose came off at the coupling and began spilling onto the ground. I quickly closed the valve but the damage was done. I moved the MH forward, got the hose and began flooding the waste into the recessed funnel in the concrete where the dump hose goes.
The hose clamp just was not tight enough and it came off from the weight and force of the material. Now I'm looking to replace the coupling/hose with another type not of the same design. Perhaps a hose with the coupling all one piece. Any help would be appreciated.

At least your accident was caused by a hose clamp malfunction. The first time that I ever camped at a campground with full hookups was four years after I had started rving. During those four years, I had always dry camped. We went up to St. Anthony, ID. to Desert Oasis. I had hooked up my sewer hose. It was one that you had to put together if had never been used. I slid the hose on the fittings with no clamps at all. I pulled the valve to slowly start letting it drain,…then I opened it up all the way. Next thing you know,…i'm dealing with everybody's crap. I managed to close the valve, but not without getting it on my shoes. Had to leave my shoes outside for a couple of nights to let them air out. I guess Rving is like everything else in life,…when you've never done something, you learn the ins and outs one way or another.
