Just wondering what everyone uses to keep the sewer hose off the ground. We have one of those accordian type stands, but it didn't work to well this weekend on uneven terrain, and we're looking for something more stable.
Thanks!

Have seen a half PVC pipe contraption. It expands so it's easy to store. Can't remember where I saw it. Could be that CW carries it. Still using the accordion type myself and don't have any problems with it.

We use a Sidewinder for our hose and it works well.

Somewhere on this forum I saw where someone mounted a square PVC fence post to their bumper and inside it they had a 4" pipe sawed in 1/2 lengthwise that the hose nested in. They used the lengthwise piece to lay the hose in from the sewer output on camper to the inground connection. Wow, was that a convoluted explanation or what

If we have a site with uneven terrain, then I just lay the hose on the ground. Otherwise I use the sidewinder support.

I use the CW knock-off version of the Sidewinder support. I also use plastic rain gutter sections to hold the hose in long straight runs.
Buy a piece of Vinyl rain gutter, cut in half and then on one half take of about one inch of both sides. The shortened piece will now slip inside of the other half and will let you support the hose easily.
Sorry but I have no pictures of this yet.

I use a PVC gutter. It comes in 10' lengths. Cut it in half and trimed the edges off of one piece so that it slides into the other. When expanded it is 10' long.

I don't get it either! People get really worried about these hoses, and the different support arrangements mean "just one more thing" to set-up, clean and store. My one concession to the "sewer hose obsession" is the belief that they can't be throughly rinsed - and I replace them often.
I just lay mine on the ground and let gravity do its work. I prefer to let the dips form a sort-of "trap" to stop sewer gas from coming up the hose and adding to what might already be coming out of my roof vent - and blowing near my fantastic fan - into the living area.

Directions for the "Slunky" branded support says to put a slight droop at the TT end to act as a P Trap to prevent gas entry. Your fantastic fan should be drawing air out of the TT not in. At least mine does. Pulls hot air, mosit air from showers, or odors out and fresh air in through the TT's doors and windows like a whole house attic fan. I am amazed at how much air my littrle fan moves!

Kinda agree here....never really seen the need to keep this sewer component off the ground. It's a dirty sewer hose....and gravity has always worked for me. JMO
