sewer hose that fits in bumper

So .... what manufacturer/model/color-of-hose will fit into the 3 3/4 inch ID square bumper tube?

I had a pair of 15 ft red hoses with black ends that fit ... that I bought 10 yrs ago, not realizing that plastic gets brittle after a while ... and it broke ... and I got a poopy bath. Yummmm. So want to replace.

Somebody must know.....
  • And just measured mine 3 and 7/8 inside dimentions. I think they are all standerd size.
  • I thought they all fit also, maybe not the 90 degree peice, but thats why there removable. And yes,twisting the hose will let the coupler clear the outside and slide in.
  • they fit, you just have to turn the hose 45 degrees.
  • As for "one that won't fit" I must assume that you are not storing your hose in the 3.75 inch ID bumper. Many don't fit, from experience.

    It turns out, I bought this in 2012, and it fits: Valterra EZ Coupler 20-Foot RV Sewer Hose Kit, Universal Sewer Hose for RV Camper, Includes 2 Attachable 10-Foot Hoses with Rotating Fittings and 90 Degree Clearview Sewer Adapter
  • As the OP said, 3.75” ID is going to be pretty tight with some couplers, and too small for many. I don’t think the previous responders realize that 3.75” is NOT the same as the 4.00” bumper they may have. I had one of those smaller bumpers on a previous camper, and I had to be very picky about which sewer hose couplers I bought.

    These Valtera couplers may fit, though the outside diameter of the bayonet coupler is exactly 3.75”. I like them because you don’t have to use a hose clamp on them.

    Valterra F02-3101

    Any of the RV sewer hoses that don’t come with fittings on them will likely work in your bumper, but I like this one.

  • They all fit because this way you keep needing to get replacements when they turn into sprinklers.
  • 5"x8' square PVC fence post fits most hoses. End caps available, HD etc.
