Camco RV Sewer Hoses and Fittings

What size Camco Rhino sewer hose do I need for my RV?

Rhino hoses come in 10, 15, 20, and 21 foot lengths, plus extension kits. Most full hookup sites are within 15 to 20 feet of the dump connection, so a 20 foot Rhino is the common starting point. If you boondock and dump at a station, a 10 or 15 foot hose stores easier in the bumper. Confirm your bayonet fitting style (standard 3 inch RV) before ordering replacement parts.

Are Camco Rhino replacement parts compatible with other RV sewer hose brands?

The Rhino bayonet fittings, swivel elbows, and clear adapters use the standard 3 inch RV sewer connection, so they will mate with most Valterra, Thetford, and Lippert sewer systems. Hose-to-fitting connections, however, are sized for the 23 mil Rhino hose wall. If you are replacing a cracked elbow or worn bayonet on a non-Rhino hose, verify the hose diameter before ordering. Pair sewer maintenance with the right freshwater setup from our RV winterizing kits when the season turns.

What is the difference between the Rhino and Rhino Extreme sewer hoses?

The standard Rhino uses a 23 mil polyolefin wall with steel wire reinforcement, rated for typical dump station use. The Rhino Extreme adds TPE layers for higher abrasion resistance, better cold weather flexibility down to lower temperatures, and a longer service life when the hose is dragged across gravel or concrete pads. Full-timers and snowbirds generally prefer the Extreme; weekend campers do fine with the standard Rhino.

What other RV plumbing and electrical accessories should I shop alongside sewer hoses?

A clear 45 or 90 degree sewer adapter helps you confirm the tank is fully flushed, and a sewer hose support keeps the line sloped toward the drain. On the power side, the right shore connection matters just as much as the sewer one. See our RV plug adapters for 30 amp to 50 amp and dogbone configurations, and browse RV electronics for surge protectors and monitors that round out a full hookup kit.

How do I store a Camco Rhino sewer hose between trips?

Rinse the hose with the black tank flush or a dedicated rinse wand until the water runs clear, then drain it fully by lifting one end. Store it in a dedicated bumper compartment or storage tube, never inside the freshwater bay. Keep the bayonet caps on both ends to prevent debris and pests from entering. Inspect the elbow seal and bayonet lugs each season and replace worn parts before they fail at a dump station.
