Stinky slinky life span?
Wanted to here from others of their opinion of IF they replace the sewer hose due to age. I have a rhino flex that we got in 2011. Looks good and stored inside but I know that may not mean anything. It's hot and dry where I am at and I don't think anyone wants a brown surprise while dumping.

Nah. Unless the flexibility is gone, don’t waste your money. Rhino 🦏 will last a long time.

Had an old brown cheap hose on our 2007 TT...original hose. Got 8 years out of it before a tear finally developed and I bought a new one.

Rhino we got in 2007 is still in use and looks great, bought a new one to extend when needed.

Save your money, unless you see signs of tears, cracks or other wear. Rhino seems very durable. Have fun.

Depends on how long it is ex[posed to sunlight. As a full timer, my hose is exposed all year long. Rhino is theonly way to go but I will still replace it every two years or so

You should wash, wax, and caress on a regular basis if you want it to stick with you!

Depends; How many times I've stepped, tripped, laid on, dropped it, or dropped something on it. Leaving it in the frozen tundra, sun baking it for months and months.

I had one cheap, brown, Camco sewer hose that lasted for 10 years. Had an expensive 'fancy' one that lasted two years..... So I guess it just depends on the hose .

Unlike tires, you can keep using these until they fail. Most ones I have seen fail develop pinhole leaks. They usually don't fail catastrophicly, so I wouldn't worry about having it rip open and dump everywhere!
However, if you are worried about it, by all means get a new one. They aren't all that expensive.
