My sewer hose got stolen...

[mlts22]

When I purchased my TT back in 2011, a flimsy sewage hose came with it, so I tossed it into the bumper and forgot about it, as I bought a far better hose which resides in a plastic tub in a storage compartment.

While doing some inspections this past weekend, I popped the end caps off, noticed the hose in the bumper was gone.

No big loss... because that hose was something that would be just for a dire emergency if the other two hoses failed..

It is a good thing in a way that after four years of camping, averaging 24-30 camping days a year, that the one item that walks off is the stinky slinky.

Hmmmmmmmm - had you changed the 751 locks on your compartment/s?

Bound to be the reason the thief had to settle for the bumper hose!..:W

I never bothered checking on the hose just because I tossed it in there at the PDI and never bothered with it.

If the caps were falling off, why is the hose "stolen" and not just along side a highway somewhere?

agree.

Now that the 'whole' story has been told so much more likely that hose slithered out of bumper and has deteriorated somewhere along the hwy vs being stolen

Glad to hear that this has happened to someone else. In all the years we have RV'd, the sewer hose is the only thing we had stolen!! Yuck! Ours was while we were camping and it was an extra length we kept in the storage tube...there one day, gone next morning. At least they didn't take the one we were using!
Safe travels everyone.

Yes if you lost an end cap that's probably when you lost the hose. I've lost a couple that way over the years.

Are you sure it is not in there? Those cheap hoses are short and bumping around down the road, mine has often migrated to the very middle of the tubular bumper. I've had to get a long hook (my awning hook) to reach in and fish it out.

I really can't imagine someone stealing your cheap slinky and then putting the cap back on.

This seems more likely to me or maybe someone else in the family threw it out months ago.

In any event, I hope this is the worst thing that ever happens to the OP or anyone of us.
