Dear Lance Camper...
...10' of waste tank hose is/was pathetically inadequate...
Especially since I have used the hose a grand total of 5 times in 9 1/2 years.
YMMV.

You dump once every 2 yrs?
Wow...those are some big holding tanks...
Or.... I seldom use the hose. It's more convenient because I NEVER use the black tank (but I keep the toilet for the MOST EXTREME emergency) and gray water is much easier to dispose of without using the hose. I carry a 5 gal bucket or dump in remote locations. We have a gray water system in our home and after 35 years the plants at the outlet thrive. Of course, every plant in the high desert pretty much likes water in any amount and quality. So I am familiar with the safety of gray water dumping, at least in the western US. I don't dispose where others would be exposed, like Forest Service campground campsites, etc. Pullouts along gravel/dirt roads are favored possibilities. Dump stations are relatively rare where we tend to travel.
