The Longest Sewer Connection You've Made?

Came up short once with a 20 Ft hose.

Now carry 30.

If you plan to travel around much and camp at older CGs, 20' could be too short in some cases. The location of your outlet(s) could also be a factor (we have one at rear and another ahead of the axles).

We've been to some CGs where power & water are at the rear of a site and sewer at the front (and vice versa) and some where 4 sites share a common pedestal which may force you to run your hose under your TT and you'll need more hose. I think 40' is as long as we've needed so far but have 60' at our disposal. I installed a Valterra sewer hose carrier under our TT for and bought 2 high quality hoses for it which are the ones I regularly use. Two of the old hoses are now in the bumper and 2 more are stuffed in a cavity behind the shower "just in case".

Nowadays there are codes that dictate hookups are to be on the left side and rear of a site and where the inlets are to be on an RV.

I’ve needed 40 feet once! I had 2 connectors to use my 20’, and 2 10 footers. The hoses were stretched pretty good. I had an extra 10 footer but not another connector.

I've been lucky enough to not need to use my thief yet, but I surely will put some clamps in my tool box. Good idea, thanks. BTW I don't leave the hose connected, I just hook it up long enough to refill the fresh water tank if needed.
