Camco 39768 RhinoFLEX 3' Tote Tank Sewer Hose Kit

If you run a portable waste tote at the campsite, you already know the transfer is where the mess happens. Draining your rig's black tank into the tote, then hauling the tote to the dump station, means two connections you don't want leaking. The Camco RhinoFLEX 39768 tote tank hose kit is built for exactly that job. It's a 3-foot collapsible sewer hose with a low-profile 90-degree tank adapter on one end and standard bayonet fittings, so you get a short, controlled run between your coach and the tote without wrestling a full-length sewer hose into place.

The hose itself is heavy-duty polyolefin, 23 mil thick, reinforced with steel wire running through the wall. That steel wire does two things. It holds the hose open so it won't collapse under suction during a dump, and it lets the whole thing compress down for storage. Extended, you've got a full 3 feet of reach. Compressed, it packs down to about 19 inches, so it tucks into a bumper or a storage bay without eating up space you don't have.

The fittings are where this kit earns its keep. Both ends carry swivel bayonet connectors, four prongs each, that lock onto a lug fitting with a positive quarter-turn. That locking action is what keeps the connection odor-tight, which matters a lot when you're standing right over it. The bayonet ends swivel too, so you can line up the hose without twisting the whole run. The included 90-degree elbow is a low-profile transparent resin fitting. Being able to see flow through a clear elbow tells you when the transfer is finished, and the 90-degree angle keeps the hose feeding downhill into the tote instead of kinking up at the connection.

Who's this for? Anyone running a portable tote tank setup. If your site doesn't have a sewer hookup and you're moving waste to a dump station in a wheeled tote, this is the short jumper hose that connects your RV outlet or the tote's fill port cleanly. It's a 3-inch diameter hose, the standard RV sewer size, so it mates up with the fittings you already have on your coach and on most tote tanks.

Setting it up is quick. Twist one bayonet end onto your waste outlet or the tote inlet lug, seat the four prongs, and give it the quarter turn until it locks. Attach the 90-degree elbow at the tote end and drop it into the fill port. Because the elbow is clear, you can watch the tank empty and know exactly when to close the valve. When you're done, cap both ends before you break the connection to keep drips off your hands and out of the storage bay.

A couple of honest notes. Three feet is a short run by design. It's meant as a tote transfer hose, not your primary campsite-to-sewer line. If you need to reach a distant sewer inlet, use a longer RhinoFLEX run for that and keep this one on tote duty. And because it collapses, give it a second to fully extend and settle before you start the flow so the coils don't trap solids.

In the box you get the collapsible hose, the bayonet fittings, the 90-degree tank adapter, and end caps to seal both ends between uses. The caps keep the inside clean and contain any residual odor while it's stored. Rinse it out after each trip, let it dry, cap both ends, and it'll give you seasons of service. The polyolefin wall slows the odor permeation that plain sanitation hose lets through, so it stays fresher longer than a bargain hose. A quick rinse and a full dry-out before you cap it goes a long way toward keeping it that way trip after trip.
