Hey Jesse! If it's just the LED light strip that's peeling off, then I recommend picking up some strong adhesive double-sided take and securing it back in place with that, but if you're talking about the "bar" that the light…

Hello Kate F, I too am a Kate F =) Yes, the Valterra #SS01 Sewer Solution can definitely work off-grid, but there are a few things to keep in mind to make sure it works well in your setup. The great thing about this system is that it doesn’t need…

Hey there Michelle! While weight distribution systems are supposed to get the truck and trailer as level as possible, they are not complete miracle workers and won't make both 100% level in all situations. In fact, Andersen has a section of the…

Durable and Reliable RV Sewer Hoses for Every Adventure
RV sewer hoses are essential for safely and efficiently disposing of waste from your RV's tanks. When choosing a hose, consider durability, flexibility, and compatibility with your RV's connections. A good hose should withstand frequent use and exposure to the elements, ensuring a hassle-free camping experience.
A durable RV sewer hose is made from high-quality materials that resist cracking and leaks. Look for hoses with reinforced construction and UV protection to withstand outdoor conditions. A well-made hose will maintain its integrity over time, even with frequent use and exposure to the elements.
Consider the distance from your RV's waste outlet to the dump station. A standard 15-foot hose is often sufficient, but having an extension can be handy for longer reaches. Ensure the hose can be compacted for easy storage when not in use, and check compatibility with your RV's connections.
Always wear gloves when handling sewer hoses to avoid contact with waste. Ensure connections are secure to prevent leaks, and regularly inspect the hose for wear or damage. Be cautious of sharp objects that could puncture the hose, and store it properly to extend its lifespan.
If your sewer hose leaks, first check for visible damage. Small punctures can sometimes be patched with repair kits, but significant damage may require a replacement. Regularly inspect your hose to catch issues early, and consider investing in a high-quality hose to minimize future problems.
Check the diameter and type of your RV's waste outlet and ensure the hose has compatible fittings. Many hoses come with universal adapters, but it's wise to verify compatibility before purchasing. A secure fit is crucial to prevent leaks and ensure efficient waste disposal.
