Valterra Dominator Sewer Hoses - are they worth the money?

Need to replace my old Wally World stinky slinky hoses which have developed small pin holes - looked at Rhinoflex and Valterra Dominator hoses and fittings - prefer the Dominator series as they have universal connectors and have a 2' compartment hose. Looking for comments, pros and cons, on these two products - also, where's the cheapest place online to buy these?
Thanks

I have been using the same Rhino flex hose since 2007. Convenient to use and has yet to develop any pinholes or leaks.
I can't think of a reason to buy anything else at this time.

I used the Rhinoflex hose for five years with no hose problems. The problem I had was with the gaskets splitting. I have now had the Dominator hose for two years with no problems at all. I'm going to stay with the Dominator.

How long have you had it? (when was day one?) ๐Ÿ˜‰

I'm in the market too.


Good point, day one could have been yesterday! We've used it for three seasons so far. I'm sure there may be better hoses, but this sure meets my criteria, which is no leaks! I do like that once you set it up, it will keep its shape. Others that aren't as rigid may flop around when using them. Also, when you compress it together, it stays compressed. It doesn't have to be gold plated after all, it's only transporting, well, you know, from the tank to the dump pipe, which it does well. And they're not really too expensive.

I always used Blu Line. Last couple of year I was not happy with the quality. I did a lot of research on what would work best for me. I chose Dominator.

I've been using Valterra Dominator hoses since 2011, no leaks, no pinholes, and have worked perfectly. I especially like the 90 degree elbow since it can either screw in or wedge in. I store the hose in a plastic tub.

I've had the Dominator for 2 years and am satisfied with it. No cracks or pin leaks yet.

Watch the videos on both. I think I will go with the Dominator series. Have the "PresToFit" hoses now but they have gone away from being US Made and they are not holding up.

I had Rinoflex for 3 years with my old rig.
Loved it.

New rig has the Valterra. Hate it.
When dumping it wiggles like a snake.

I think I had to Dominator several years ago. Went to the Rhinoflex, and love it.
