They look pretty nice, but I was thinking if the hose leaked, can you get the fittings off or they now trash too? Might get expensive if the fittings arent removeable.
at least one end is removable - mine was coming off and I just tightened it last trip
The best we have found is from Walmart - 20mil 20' for about $13.00. It does not include fittings, however they are very inexpensive. I buy hose clamps at a hardware store because they hold better than the RV style. RhinoFlex doesnt mention their tube thickness.
Those that are leaking - where are they leaking? Is the hose leaking or the fitting? Problem with pre-assembled fittings you may not be able to repair yourself.
Earl E,
The websites indicate the fittings will fit inside a standard 4" square RV bumper if you have such.
the hose fits fine but the large round attachment that you stick in the hole doesn't -- I just store this piece elsewhere

Mine tore in half while extending it after taking it out of the box. Fortunately, I bought a long and a short one, and spliced them together.

I have seen them come in 15 ft only and a couple of the CG require 30ft to get to the sewer. Wal-Mart sell thems in the local area. Would like to find one 30 ft long.

The fittings are not permanently attached, they screw on (reverse thread). Mine leaked once until I realized that the fittings had come loose. Tightened both ends up and no more leaks. It's now part of my setup routine to make sure that the fittings are screwed on tight.
I store my hose, collapsed and in the bumper.
I have two Rhino hoses for when the trailer is too far from the sewer and join them with a Rhino coupler. Was less than $10 for the coupler at Camping World

HI I have the Rhino flex and have had it for 5 years and never had a problem.

We've had ours for a year and no problems. Stores in a tote and is easier to handle than the "slinky" style hoses. Friend has had one for 2 years and no problems.

Have had ours over a year and exactly 50 nights on the road. No problems and no leaks at all.

We've had ours for over a year and a half, and no problems. Last summer, we took a 5 1/2 week trip and connected/disconnected every few days, and no problems.
