Northern Lite

Here is the one that came with my 2018 , 8-11 NL camper. I got the part number off the original that came with the camper and ordered a spare from amazon. I also tried it in the bumper and it fits.

Call your Northern Lite dealer to get the Northern Lite "sized" hose. If your dealer does not have it, call 5 Star RV in Henderson, CO and they will ship you one.
They are a great dealership and ship a lot of RV parts all over the country.
Previous posters are correct in that NL is going to start using standard size hoses in their new units. Why they have not done that before now is a mystery to me.

I was reluctant to shave further, thru the sidewall, but given how rarely I use the second 10' section, I might as well shave it to max skinny, even if it seems sketchy.

If you have a moto tool, a $5 burr head takes the plastic down quick and easy.

I hear ya. Given the hassle of trying to store these nasty sewer hoses somewhere else, potentially trashing a $15 hose is worth it IMO. FWIW, we used a belt sander to sand down the 4 sides. Grinds away flat and only takes a minute or two.

Northern-Lite increased the size of the rear bumper after enough of us complained about it. You may have one of the larger ones on your unit.

Very seriously doubt it based on the amount of plastic I had to shave/grind off between the 4 prongs of each female hose connector to get them to fit into the bumper. Build date on my camper is 02/19. Quite a few months before the new bumper rumors started. I've yet to hear of anyone that's actually touched one of these "new" bumpers and successfully inserted an unmodified, female, 4-prong hose connector---as far as I know just rumors at this point.

If you carefully shave each side, between the prongs, just shy of the black gasket, it will fit inside the bumper. Did this about 7 months ago. Have used the hoses numerous times since then with no issues.

“The groups of techs all looked at each other and sheepishly just shrugged their shoulders.”

Management wasn’t smart enough to hire techs that were campers.

The NL bumper tube can only accommodate a 2-prong Valterra-brand female end, as opposed to the more common 4-prong female ends. Each new NL should come with a Valterra female fitting, which you are expected to mount to a hose.

Some of us have discovered that you can shave a standard 4-prong hose to fit. I posted my success story here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1055863797841588/permalink/2299084473519508/

Whether a shaved 4-prong or as-is 2-prong, the female end will only fit near the opening of the bumper tube, so you can only mount one fully-fitted tube in the bumper.

Just today, rumor broke that the 2020 NL will have a bigger bumper box to accommodate the 4-prong sewer hoses.
