Title: Replacing the factory sewer hose - what do you use?
Post by: mojospeople on April 23, 2018, 08:54:22 PM
Ok, we're tired of the too short, cheapo factory sewer hose and looking for opinions on what to replace it with. Depending on the length of hose we may also have to replace the storage tube. What do you all like?

This has held up very well for us.
You will need a larger storage container.
Search for this on Amazon.

I replaced the short storage tube with this one...

https://www.dwincorp.com/product/super-slider-adjustable-super-tube/

I mounted it with some self tapping stainless bolts. I keep a 15' valterra dominator hose in it, and I can fit all the fittings in it also.

Then I moved the smaller tube to the other side and I keep a 10' valterra hose in that one.

I also keep a 5' in a plastic tote for when I can get really close. I swapped all the camco rhinoflex hoses I had for valterra dominators because the camco's kept leaking at the connections. Rhinoflex is cheap, but it has a garbage fitting connection design. My valterras haven't leaked yet.

This is what we ended up with. We had to replace the storage tube too. It was a pretty easy job and so far is working great.

Cool idea to have a short hose for close work. I'm going to do that too, with the extra hose length I have in the OEM tube. I long ago added a long tube under the rear bumper for a long hose.

On another note......nice tires. You could go rock-crawling with those.  :o
