sewer hose support preference

We have been camping for 20 years and very seldom go anywhere with full hookups. The occasional overnight stop at a KOA or other private park is all we experience. It seems like the sewer hookups at these places are always a couple inches off the ground and I find myself propping the sewer hose up at the end so it doesnt have to flow up hill. Does anyone use any hose support? I was looking and there are a million different versions. Only reason I ask is we have a three week trip planned at the end of the summer and a couple stops have full hookups. The longest stop will be at Ft Wilderness so we will be setup for a while there.

Here is what I was looking at

option 1

option 2

option 3

Anybody know if the hookups stick up out of the ground at Disney or are they flush?

  • A few years ago I was in an RV park in Benson AZ where the county required that the sewer hose be off the ground so I bought Option 1.

    I found it so handy that I find myself using it on any long term stay and many short ones.

    Also since then I have been in a few other parks that require the hose to be off the ground

    I ended up buying one that is 25 feet long which is what I need for the RV park we stay in all winter.
  • If the end of the hose is lower then the holding tank why worry where the rest of the hose is. Mine is on the ground.
  • Any of them I have a sidewinder but am gonna buy 1 or 2 10' lengths (Gotta cut them) of gutter to hold mine mainly cause I have the posts under the camper to store them. If memory serves me they are flush with a little dish around them for drippings.. I'll be able to confirm after January.
  • I find using PVC Eaves trough works very well. It comes in 10' lengths, then cut to whatever lengths best fit in your storage compartments. I use short sections of 2x4 to get the slope I need. Just lay the sewer hose in the trough, no problems with wind blowing it over.
