The Camco" Rhino"
Bought anew Rhinoflex hose because it was all they ha. Ends are different in they appear to not be able to removed and a new section of hose installed. The elboc for the discharge into the sewer connection is now cheaper clear plastic and will no doubt not last for those who stay connected for period sf time in the Southwestern sun. I may be wrong but the old nylon like translucent en lasted us over 12 years!
The hose behaves similar to the old stiff Rino but...birds put holes along the top of it the first day!!! It is basically the same soft vinyl or plastic as the cheap hoses we threw out years ago. The old hose laated over a decade, until a dog decided to chew on it, and a ham bone would not have survived either. And this repalcement, the only one available, at Wal Mart was almost $50.00 We paid, I can't remembe exctly but $20.00 or so for our old one.
I was able to get the removable ends from the old hose, still in excellent shape, if I can find the sections of hose like they sue to sell. One day's use and this new "maximizing profitability" Camco junk, nearly fifty dollar hos,e is in the trash. No doubt the wire coils in the hose are steel which would rust out in short order too, like the ones we threw away long ago.
