Taking care of your RV’s sewer hose properly eliminates headaches when emptying your gray and black water tanks, but there comes a time when every RVer needs to shop for an RV sewer hose replacement.
When that happens, don’t run out and buy the first thing you see. Avoid cheap products and focus on brand names people know and trust.
How to Choose an RV Sewer Hose Replacement

Length
Once you’ve traveled in your RV for a while, you’ll realize that all sewer connections aren’t created equal. At some campsites and dump stations, you’ll be fine with a 10-foot sewer hose, but that length will leave you short more often than not.
There’s no ideal sewer hose length for every situation. When you get an impromptu invite to a family residence for the holidays, their property may or may not have a level RV spot with an easily-accessible sewer connection.
