Rhino sewer hose

We ordered a 2022 Flagstaff 21FBRS. We are in the process of ordering hoses and other necessary items.
What length of sewer hoses do you recommend? We are getting a 15 ft. for regular use. What other length should we get just in case the sewer connection is further away?
We appreciate your input.
Thanks.

From TEXAS

I carry a 15ft main and a 10ft extension. Also carry a CAMCO 39834 replacement gasket kit.

This is a good setup that will fill the need for most hookups.
Due to some lengths needed at favorite spots we frequent, we carry 40' of different lengths sewer hose that can be used in many combinations. I really like the short 5' piece for use at dump stations.

I have reached hookups for past 3 years with just one ten foot section, sometimes I have to break out the 2nd 10 footer. Never needed more than that.

I have a shorty that came with dump cart, it is useful.

It just depends.

I regularly use my 15' Rhino and sometimes need the 10' extension.

I also carry two additional 10' sections and over New Years I needed both (added to the above) PLUS my 3' stubby and just made it.

Whatever you choose, get an extra one, you're bound to need it at some point...

During our last two week trip we stayed at 8 different campgrounds. During 5 our 15 foot sewer hose was not long enough (we have 2). During 3 our 15 foot power cord was not enough (I have a spare 20ft). At 2 of them our 15ft water hose was not enough (I have a spare 20ft). Oh, and adapters... 50 to 30 and 20 to 30 amp).

Bad luck? Maybe but I carry spares.

The only 'spares' I have room I have room for in my 20' camper are beers.

I've never had to use any more than the 2x 10' sections of sewer hose that came in the kit I bought from Walmart.

I store my hose in my square bumper and have the Camco magnetic cap, which is awesome:

Forest River was nice enough to install an OEM storage tube beneath mine, fits both 10' sections no problem.

Yes, I had the storage tube under my Geo Pro 17RK, but if I remember correctly, I could only fit 1 hose in there and had to keep the second 10' section in pass through storage.

Not sure about how my dump valves your rig has, but we have two on ours. We don't have full hook ups often but we have a "Y" connection for when we need it, two ten foot hoses, and a small one (like NJKris said). At our current host site we needed another ten footer.
That all said, more is better (if you have the room to store it). Eventually you will need more than normal.
