Camco 39631 HTS 20 ft RV Sewer Hose, Brown

The Camco 39631 is a 20 foot HTS sewer hose made from heavy-duty 15 mil brown vinyl. It's built for the seasonal RVer, the kind of camper who heads out for weekends and the occasional longer stretch through the summer season. If you've been fighting a short, brittle hose at the dump station, this one gives you real reach and a heavier wall that holds up trip after trip.

Length is the first thing you notice. Twenty feet is a lot of hose, and that matters more than people expect. Plenty of sites put the sewer inlet well back from where your rig actually parks, and a short hose leaves you stretching, repositioning, or giving up and moving the whole trailer. With 20 feet you reach the connection, keep a gentle downhill run to the inlet, and still have slack to work with. When you don't need all of it, the hose compresses down for storage instead of fighting you.

The diameter is 3 inches, which is the standard size for RV waste outlets and dump-station inlets. That means it drops right into the routine you already know. This is an HTS hose, Camco's heavy-duty line, and the wall is 15 mil vinyl. That thicker wall is the whole point. A heavier hose shrugs off the everyday scuffs, kinks, and gravel-lot abuse that split a thin one, and it feels more confident in your hands when you're guiding a full tank down the line.

Color is brown, which keeps things discreet at the site. Nobody wants a bright hose drawing eyes to the least glamorous part of RV life. Brown blends in, does its job, and stays out of the photos.

Storage is where the compressed length earns its keep. This hose collapses to 32 inches, so the whole 20 foot run tucks into a short bumper compartment or a storage bay between trips. Stretch it out when you need it, squeeze it back down when you're done. That accordion design is what makes a long hose practical to carry in the first place.

That reach pays off at the sites that don't cooperate. Back-in spots where the hookup ends up behind the rig. Pull-throughs with the sewer connection out at the far corner. An older park where the inlet sits a good stretch from the pad. A 20 foot hose covers those without asking you to unhitch and shuffle the trailer around to get close. And when the run happens to be short, the extra length just coils up and stows, so you're never the one standing there wishing you had a few more feet.

One thing to be clear about. This is the hose only. It doesn't ship with bayonet fittings, a clear elbow, or a swivel adapter, so plan to pair it with the 3 inch fittings and connectors you already run. If you're replacing a cracked or worn-out hose and keeping your existing end fittings, that's exactly what this is for. If you're starting from scratch, you'll want to add the fittings and an elbow separately.

Using it is straightforward, and a little care goes a long way. Connect your outlet fitting, run the hose to the dump inlet with a steady downhill slope, and pull your black tank first so the gray tank rinses the line behind it. When you're done, give the hose a good rinse, let it drain, then compress it and stow it dry. Keep it out of the sun when it's parked for the season and it'll last. Treat a sewer hose like the consumable it is, and replace it the moment you see a crack or a soft spot rather than nursing a bad one.

Who's it for? Weekend campers and seasonal RVers who want a longer, heavier hose without overthinking it. It's a practical, honest piece of gear. Who's it not for? Anyone expecting a full kit in the box, since this is the bare hose. Grab the matching 3-inch fittings and you're set for the season.
