I hated using the 3" hoses and switched to a 1/2" hose. I love this system and recommend it highly!! Always grabs attention at the campground!

Lots of good advice here. I have a couple of thoughts:

If you are planning to store the sewer hose in the 4" metal tube that runs across the back of many RVs, you will find that the Rhino will not fit in the tube.

2 hoses are better than one. Most of the time you will only need to use a short length, and it is easier to work with a 10' hose than a 20 footer.

IMHO the person in the video mentioned above gets carried away with getting his black tank clean. It isn't necessary to get it absolutely clean. You certainly don't want to go thru all that at the dump station with other RVers waiting in line.


My Rhino fits just fine in my 4" bumper.

I stand corrected. I don't have a Rhino, but I was sure I had read posts here saying that the Rhino did not fit in the 4" bumper.

I can see why the rhino wont fit the 4" because it barely fits into my 4 1/4" ID tube. But it's to long to actually fit in my storage tube though.
