This past summer I set up a 3" dryer hose of 50' with my Rhino hose at the end to tie into the sewer. All in all about 60' feet. Like they said it won't run uphill. Before I attempted anything I filled the hose full of water to make sure it didn't leak. I was pretty nervous the first couple times I used it but I'm ok with it now. In fact I am very careful with the way I handle the hose to prevent creating leaks. IMO a couple or three 20' hoses coupled will do just fine. Just remember to use the shortest amount of hose cause as it fills it will expand to it's full length. I also built a "v" chase out of 1x4x12 and 1x3x12 to control the hose on the ground since I had to run on an angle across the slope to the sewer.
