Camco 39672 20-Foot RV Sewer Hose Kit, 18 Mil

Nobody loves the sewer hose. But it's the one piece of RV gear you can't skip, and a cheap one turns dumping the tanks into a mess you'll remember. The Camco 20-Foot RV Sewer Hose Kit is the all-in-one setup that takes the guesswork out of it. You get two 10-foot hoses, all the fittings, an elbow, an adapter, and storage caps in one box. Open it, hook it up, and you're draining.

The hoses are built from 18-mil HTS vinyl, so they're a good bit heavier than the thin economy hoses that split the first cold morning. Three-inch diameter matches standard RV waste valves and dump-station inlets, and the gray hose hides road grime better than clear vinyl. Each hose runs 10 feet, and you can join them for the full 20 feet of reach or use just one when the site's dump is close. That flexibility matters more than people think. Some sites put the sewer connection right under your rig. Others make you stretch clear across the pad.

Both hoses come with fittings pre-attached, so there's no threading parts together in the dark. One end carries a swivel bayonet that locks onto your RV's waste outlet with a quarter turn, and the swivel lets the hose rotate without you having to twist the whole line. The other ends use lug fittings that snap the hoses together and lock into the elbow. The transparent elbow is the part you'll actually appreciate. You can see when the flow runs clear, which tells you when the black tank is truly empty and it's time to move on to the gray.

The elbow carries a detachable 4-in-1 adapter that steps down to fit the common dump-station inlet sizes, so you get a sealed connection at just about any campground, from a private RV park to a highway rest stop. And the kit includes a translucent swivel wye fitting, which is the piece that sets it apart. The wye lets you connect both your black and gray tank outlets to a single hose run at the same time. Dump the black tank first, then open the gray to flush the hose clean on its way out. It's the right order, and the wye makes it easy without crawling back and forth under the coach.

When you're done, the four storage caps seal both ends of both hoses so nothing drips in your storage bay on the drive home. Cap the hoses, collapse them down, and they tuck into a standard 4-inch square bumper or a storage compartment. That's a small thing that keeps the rest of your gear clean.

Who's this for? Any RV, travel trailer, fifth wheel, or motorhome owner who wants a complete kit instead of buying a hose, then an elbow, then an adapter, then realizing they still need a wye. First-time owners get everything they need to dump correctly on day one. Full-timers get a backup kit worth keeping in the bay. The 20 feet of total reach covers long pull-through sites and awkward back-in spots where the sewer connection sits behind the rig.

A couple of honest notes from experience. Rinse the hoses after every dump and they'll last years. Store them capped and dry so they don't hold odor. And if your site's connection is close, don't stretch out all 20 feet. Use one 10-foot hose and keep the extra in the bay. Less hose to rinse, less to store. This is straightforward gear that does exactly what it says, and having the wye and the clear elbow in the same box is what makes tank day quick instead of a chore.
