Theres only been a couple of times we have needed more than 15' of waste hose in our 40 years if we parked the rig the way the site was built. Weve had tts with rear dumps, after axle dump, now 5er with center dump fore of axles.
The issue is if someone wanted to park differently. Think Toy hauler, park way forward for tail gate, or buddy site to face door to door throw hoses under to dump on door side. Another consideration is old trailers like Airstreams with the dump under the back bumper. Many camps were built for that back when.
Lets not even go into the many types of units, an 40' A mh towing a 32' cargo trailer? A Crewcab longbed P/U towing a rear dump trailer? The perfect hookup location for each is long ways apart.
Carry the extra hoses, ext. cords for your unit. No matter how or when the camp was- is you have what it takes.
Besides, whenever a hose takes a leak, you have a spare.
