Rhinoflex... Not what it used to be
I'm looking for a new sewer hose so I'm checking out Rhino. I've always heard they were really good so I'm looking on Amazon to find a deal and I see all these negative reviews. Turns out Rhino change...

Have had the Dominator hose for several seasons and very happy with it. I like the accordion action that makes it easy to get into the Valterra sewer hose carrier we have under the TT. Decided on the Dominator after doing research and reading reviews, and then doing the obligatory internet search for the lowest price.
Used to have 4 lengths of the red Valterra EZ-coupler hose and 2 lengths developed pinhole leaks (common in cheaper sewer hoses). The two good remaining hoses are stashed away in the bumper for the occasional time extra length is needed.
Look at the type of material a hose is made from and the thickness. The better hoses are TPE and 23 mil thick. The cheaper hoses made from vinyl just don't last. Rhinoflex is vinyl.
The fittings on some hoses are harder to get on and off, like our Dominator. There are sewer hose wrenches but not available to fit all hoses, like with the Dominator. It is a challenge sometimes to use the fittings and may just make up a wrench or use an oil filter wrench.
