Here'n'There wrote:Boy I wish I could remember the brand name of the hoses I have... I see them at RV stores once in a while. They are gray and advertise "triple the wall thickness" (or something like that) on the box. We are full timers and I have been using these hoses for over 2-1/2 years - no sign of fatigue or other weakness issues.
You should be able to google it.. matter of fact I think I will try and will report back.
Could you be talking about Camco?
They advertise heavy wall hose.

Like Clay L I use Valtera's best hose. Over $50 for a sewer hose! Not even it can stand up to cats! They love to sink their claws into the soft vinyl leaving pinholes. I've caught them doing it!
So I put my Valtera hose inside a 4" black corrugated semi-flexible drain pipe I got from Loew's. (It's cheap) It also protects the hose from UV rays.
So far so good. I'd been replacing hoses twice per season. It's kind of a PITA hauling the corrugated drain pipe, but it'll flex enough to go into the bed of the truck.

Thanks to you all for your great suggestions. We had a new piece of Rhino Flex overnighted to us, so we're good for now. We're in the Florida Keys, so there wasn't much choice for sewer hoses. I think we'll check camping world when we get back to the mainland.

I think the sewer solution is a great concept. I will consider it when the time comes.

We have the red ones from Valterra. Still have the same ones after 2 years and still going strong. We have two 10' sections and one 5' section, as well as the 90 degree coupler that goes into the sewer drain.

Normally, we sit long term & hardpipe. Some RVParks even provide the pipe for us. But over the 2010-11 winter, we put our trust in RhinoFlex hose in MD. It also developed pin holes, but duct tape fixed it temporarily.
Since then, we're back to hardpipe & use the slinky only when sitting longer than overnight between projects.

We will start full timing on 4/5. I just bought a Rhino Extreme sewer hose kit
from Camping World. "Won't dent - won't rust - extra protection from pin holes.
Write-up sounded good so we shall give it a try.
Look forward to learning & participating on this forum.

Cheap walmart hose.
We are on our second one but that was because it froze solid in New Mexico last winter and it snapped when I tried to remove it.
We are usually on the move and hook up the hose mostly just to dump as opposed to snow birds who are stationary for months at a time.
