I just replaced my tired old stinky slinky and I LOVE it. My driveway is 30' from the clean out and I originally had 3 sewer hoses connected for this job. One hose was new and I immediately stepped on it and the other hoses had countless pin holes. The connectors were a pain in the butt, had occasional sharp ends that needed to be trimmed, and it made for a messy job.I just picked up the Camco RhinoFlex 15' kit, two 10' extensions, a the Sidewinder support and it made like sooooo much easier. No leaks, poopy finders, or anything. They collapse and stow away easier, but the Sidewinder seems a bit flimsy. Life is good now, but wish I upgraded earlier.

I have been very pleased with my Rhino hose and sidewinder support

Yeah, last year I bought the same hose and extension and the support from Amazon. $70 minus signing on for their Visa card $40. Free freight for a total of $30 for one of my best RV investment.Bonus, use there Visa on my Prime account and get money credit for my purchases I let build up and get another big discount on a purchase. Just surprising how much satisfaction one poop hose can give.

I would like to find a one piece Rhino at about 40' for dumping at home. Anyone know if the manufacturer sells those lengths?

I'm happy with my Valterra Dominator hose. It is way too big for the bumper, so lives in a plastic tub in a storage compartment.

Not sure about love, but in all my time RV-ing since 2011, a sewage hose from my bumper (which was never used) is the only thing I've had stolen from my rig.

Buy some zip ties. You will need them in time to zip tie the side winders sections back together. Sewer hose love? Now that's funny.

*Home* use, for long distances:

No slinky/s.
As many sections of (white) 3" PVC as needed.
They *will* stay connected w/o cement, wash out & DC easily (if you wish).
Use a short section of slinky & RV adapter for the RV end.
Elbow to the sewer clean-out.
Want a color that blends with your yard? - spray paint 'em.
Last "forever".

*If* the run is up-hill (home or?), Macerator & 1" garden hose...:C

Rhino is a great sewer hose. Glad I found this hose. Got rid of a lot of problems.

I currently have three 15 foot sections of Rhinoflex, just thought if I could eliminate the two junctions I would eliminate the possibility of leaks at some point. The only thing I have issue with macerators is that it is standard practice to wait until the black tank is 3/4 full so you have good flow to drag out all the "gunk". I am sure they work fine but I find it somewhat hard to believe that the flow though one is equivalent to the 3" Rhinoflex.

I have looked and looked for a manufacturer that would sell "bulk" lengths to make a one piece hose. I guess I will stick with the three 15s and two couplers.

Not so I have a 5/8 water hose for my macerator and dump usually before half a tank and my hose goes about 35 foot and it works great, the way to do it is dump the black 1st than clean out the hose with gray tank water, works like a breeze.

I know I am suppose to use a 3/4 hose but had this old hose in my shed that needed something to do and it works fine for now..

No, but a macerator pump works for me to dump at home. It's that, or 25' of hose.
Father Goose - I still enjoy that movie.

Yep, one of our favorite Cary Grant movies.
