Maximum length of sewer hose?

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.

I occasionally run about 50 feet of hose with about a 2 foot steady drop. It has worked fine for me... so far.

Use PVC instead of RV hose for most of the distance.

If you put a water meter on your rv you will find as i did that the sewer solution does not use that much water. The SS will run over thirty feet and actually work with a rise of two or three feet.

If you are at home and you say you have the slope, could you adapt to thin wall pvc pipe?

I have a 10 foot sewer hose I use for most hookups. Has the sewer pipe hookup on it. I also carry a longer 15 foot hose and hook the two together when needed. When I dump at home I add another 20 foot hose in that I keep in the garage in a laundry basket and I need all and think I will make it longer when I buy next time.. As long as you have a good slope its not a problem.

Sage,

Is there a chance that the plumber can add a clean out closer to the pavement? Mine did.

Talk to him nicely. He may be able to add an extra "clean out" on a branch closer to where you would like it to be.

As a last resort (in my book) would be a macerator/pump that hooks to your dump flange or a short piece of slinky and runs from there in a garden size hose. This kit could store in your garage. My father did this until he got the clean out moved.

Just remember, it does NOT run uphill.

30 feet would be ok but you must have the fall .
