Camco 39551 RV Sewer Hose Kit - 10 ft Easy Slip

The Camco 39551 is a ready-to-use RV sewer kit that ships fully assembled, so you can pull it out of the bumper and hook up at the dump station without hunting for parts. You get a 10-foot hose, an Easy Slip bayonet fitting on one end, and an Easy Slip elbow with a removable 4-in-1 adapter on the other. That's the whole hookup, start to finish. No clamps, no tools, no fussing around in a gravel lot while the line behind you waits.

The hose itself is 3 inches across and made from 12 mils of HTS vinyl in black. It's a standard-diameter hose that mates up with the drain valve on just about any travel trailer, fifth wheel, or motorhome. Black hides the mess between dumps, and the 10-foot length gives you enough reach for most site layouts without leaving a pile of extra hose to wrangle and store. If your regular spots put the sewer inlet close to the rig, this is the size that makes sense.

Both fittings are the Easy Slip style, which means they connect and hold without a separate clamp. The bayonet end quarter-turns onto your RV's waste outlet the same way the factory bayonet does. The elbow end drops into the dump inlet, and the 4-in-1 adapter steps down to fit 3-inch, 3.5-inch, and 4-inch openings, plus a straight connection. So whether the campground has a threaded riser or just an open pipe in the ground, you've got a fitting that seats. The elbow is translucent too, so you can watch the flow and know when the tank has actually cleared.

When you're done, the 4-in-1 adapter pops off and stows inside a standard 4-inch square RV bumper, which is where a lot of owners keep the whole kit. The fittings come pre-attached and they're non-restrictive, so flow stays strong and the tank empties fast instead of gurgling through a pinch point. That matters more than people think. A restricted fitting is what turns a two-minute dump into a slow, backed-up mess.

This kit is the right call for weekend campers and anyone who dumps at a station with the inlet within about 10 feet of the rig. If you routinely park far from the sewer connection, or you leave the trailer hooked up for long stays, you'll want a longer 20-foot kit or a separate extension instead. Same goes if you want a fully rigid, crush-proof hose. The 12-mil vinyl here compresses down for storage, which is great for packing it small, but it means this is a lighter-duty hose than the thick-wall rigid lines. Know what you're buying and it won't surprise you.

One habit that makes any sewer hose work better: give it a downhill slope from the rig to the inlet so gravity does the work, and rest it on a hose support or even a length of rain gutter if your site is flat. Keeping the hose off the ground and running downhill stops waste from pooling in the low spots, and it makes the rinse-out afterward a lot cleaner. It's a small thing, but it's the difference between a hose that drains itself and one you're constantly lifting and shaking.

Care is simple. Give it a good rinse after every dump, let it drain and dry before you compress and stow it, and it'll serve you plenty of seasons. Keep the caps on the fittings so grit doesn't work into the seals. And here's a habit worth building: dump the black tank first, then the gray, so the soapy gray water flushes the hose out on its way through. Wear a pair of disposable gloves and you'll keep the whole job clean. It's a patented design, and it's made in the USA.
