Sewer Hose Has Pin Holes !!

Ditto on the spare hose. Thing with the pin holes-is any back pressure or 'weight' can be a source for tear. I'd replace.

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

Thank you very much for posting this . the comments certainly lightened my day.
I would replace it. and while you are at it. buy 2 you never know when you need the extra length and it gives you a spare.

Amen! Most of us are driving expensive RVs, staying in expensive campgrounds, getting 8 mi/gal and we worry about patching a stinky slinky? Give me a break!

AMEN TO THAT!!!!

Drink a few less lattes and the cost will pay for a new poop hose

That's funny right there. I don't care who you are.

When I sold my old TC I gave the new owner everything including my hoses. The newer TC had a red hose that came with it. On our first trip out with it to an RV park I had everything hooked up and pulled the leaver for the black tank as people walked past.

The Old owner never emptied his poop and the hose had tiny holes all over. Poop was spraying everywhere....People watched as I ran around trying to stop the flow and clean up the smelly disaster.

I purchase a new hose once a year.

How do you think he saved the money to buy that RV? :)

It is the only reason I can think of. Frugal habits, not that it is bad.

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.

x2 The RhinoFLEX is a great RV dumping system.

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 !

Yep, the diameter of your storage tube/bumper will need to be 4 inches. Is yours smaller than that? I did need to shorten my hose a bit for it fit in my small storage tube.

Some one on the forum actually retrofitted a Rhino to fit into the bumper! It was real slick too. He had pictures of it.

I tried to find the thread but the search forum feature doesn't like me I never can find an archived thread.

It will cost you more to try to repair it than it would cost to replace it.

Replace the slinky.

If you really want to patch it, maybe Eternabond will work.
