sewer hose leak

Like others: see one pinhole and others are on their way. The wire reenforcement rusts and rubs holes in the cheap vinyl. Birds will peck holes too.
We switched to a Rhino job some time ago and no leaks yet.

Write a letter to Campco, parent company of Rhinoflex. That hose should not leak in only a few years if it os a Rhinoflex. They are one of the heavier hoses made. You could be wearing out by storing it in the bumper.

Buy a new one and figure out why your old one is leaking. Is it old? Is there something that is causing an abrasion on it to cause it to leak?

Mine was almost 10 yrs old before I accidentally ran over it today after I stupidly left it lying in the driveway to dry.

Mine just developed a SMALL leak too. :S I'm replacing it soon as I can. :B

It's a Rhino brand. Doesn't seem to be a cheapie.

I have a Rhino Flex, got a pin hole last season, wasn't going to spend for another, put a dab of clear silicone and is still leak free.

That includes sewer hose. it's what I use.

YEAP! Plumer's GOOP, never travel without it. Works great for repairing leaks that sometimes develop around the ABS joints too. Makes a flexable repair.

Do you store your sewer hose in your bumper? That is the quickest way I know to ruin your sewer hose. As rust develops inside the bumper, each time you push your hose in it cuts it like a razor. Store it in a plastic tub and it will last a LONG time. I have been using my Rhino hose for 6 seasons now and it is still as good as new.

Just my 2 cents.
