Sewer Hose Has Pin Holes !!

When flushing the tanks after this past weeks trip, I noticed my hose has developed three pin holes (maybe a little larger) which is allowing matter to seep out. Does anyone know what I could use to patch these little holes ?? I was thinking silicone or something similar. The hose is relatively new and except for these holes is perfect! Just thought I would ask the experts before I did anything ! thanks

    find them at all Walmarts.

    After using one of these you will wonder why you waited so long to buy one. They are almost indestructible, collapse to store neaty and SOOOO much easier to use.

    The only problem with the Rhino is with my coach the storage for the hose is limited as to the size ends you use. The storage is on the side made just for the hose and very small connectors. Bad design by Newmar on this model i think !
  • I also found that small pebbles on the ground will poke small holes, as others have said buy a better hose, the cheap ones at Wal-Mart do not last long. Trying to fix the leaks, do not think it will work well.

  • My guess is that you encountered some of those birds that were a huge plague out west: ravens there have learned that they can find "tasty morsels" buy poking holes in your sewer hose, so you need to put it out only to dump, and immediately flush and repack it away or they will turn it into a sieve.

    As for repair, it is probably vinyl, which ought to be fixable with a pool patch kit. Worth a shot, but you might find it better to simply just replace it.
