They come in ready to use kits with all of the fittings you need to make connections at the dump station. The Thetford Smart Drain is made with patent pending Thermolast ultra durable, ultra pliable plastic. It has convenient handles that keep you clean during usage. The Camco Rhinoflex sewer hose is one of the most durable hoses on the market, and it features convenient swivel fittings for ease of use. Be sure to visit our RV Sewer Hoses page and get what you need this camping season.

On that page, you will find the RV Sewer Hose Comparison Chart featuring all of the RV sewer hoses we offer along with what material they are made of, and what application they have. Most companies use mil thickness to describe their sewer hoses (1 mil = .001 inches). An RV sewer hose that is made of 25 mil vinyl will be much more durable and long lasting than a 12 mil vinyl hose. The infrequent RVer who goes on a few trips a year can go with a standard RV sewer hose like the Valterra Quick Drain. Weekend RVers should consider purchasing an RV sewer hose that is thicker and more durable, like the Camco Heavy Duty RV Sewer Hose. Hoses with the Full Time RVer designation, like the Camco Rhinoflex and Thetford Smart Drain are rugged, and have been proven to withstand frequent use.

Hanna Trailer Supply's online marketplace, HannaRV.com, is also a great resource for RV sewer hose storage solutions and for the RV sewer hose fittings and accessories you may need. Most RV bumpers are 4 inches tall and 4 inches wide. They are hollow, which makes them a perfect place for RV sewer hose storage. We sell removable 4 inch rubber bumper caps that make storing and accessing your RV sewer hose convenient and easy. If you do not have a 4 inch bumper, or if you use your bumper for storing other things, you should consider mounting a sewer hose carrier to your RV. Sewer hose carriers come in a variety of sizes to fit your specific needs. They are easy to install, and they keep your RV sewer hose out of sight just like storing it in your bumper does.

There are a variety of RV sewer fittings that you will need to make connections at the RV dump station. Some RV sewer hose kits, like the Rhinoflex 20 Foot Kit, include all of the RV sewer fittings you will need to drain your waste tanks. RV sewer fittings like the Valterra EZ Coupler Sewer Adapter make connecting your sewer hose to different sized sewer outlets a breeze. RV Sewer Hose Adapters allow you to connect multiple hoses together, or make an easy connection to your RV's waste valve. RV Sewer Hose Supports like the Camco Sidewinder make draining your RV's holding tanks quick and easy, as they lift your hoses off the ground providing a downhill waste flow.

New Technology For Better RV Security

In today’s day and age, keeping your RV or Camper and your possessions inside locked up and safe from prying eyes and the hands of thieves is of utmost concern. Did you know that most RV compartment door locks and RV entrance doors are keyed-alike not only for your camper, but are standard on many other makes and models of motorhomes and travel trailers? If you look at your keys, most will have a number stamped on the side, like CH751, E3-5-15 or J236. These are in essence skeleton keys, which fit your RV door lock, but also may fit the travel trailer in the neighboring campsite, or the camper parked next to you at the truck stop. To prevent someone else from opening your RV compartment or entrance doors when you are away from your camper, consider changing out those locks or having them re-keyed by a locksmith. The following are a few more secure options to better protect your gear.

When it comes to baggage door locks and compartment door locks for your RV, you can replace the common lock with a Combi-Cam Combination Lock. The cam lock function of the lock is the same as the keyed version, however you dial in a combination of numbers in order to open the lock, eliminating the need for keys. They can be set to hundreds of possible combinations, and are also great for locking cabinet doors and drawers, toolboxes, storage lockers, security boxes, and many more applications.

RV door lock technology has improved even more when it comes to RV entrance door locks. If you don’t want to have your locks re-keyed, simply replace the RV door lock and latch hardware with an RV door lock set that includes additional security features and eliminates the need for carrying keys. Some of these locks are operated by electronic key fob like the Mobile Outfitters RV Lock Keyless Entry RV Door Lock with Remote, and the more sophisticated models use an electronic keypad that requires you to enter a combination in order to open the door. The Bauer Products 013-509 RV Door Lock With Deadbolt And Programmable Keypad By AP Products is the RV door lock that will easily integrate and retrofit your RV entrance door. The touch pad with Capacitive Touch Technology operates the RV door handle and deadbolt, and is completely programmable with a 4-digit combination PIN number. The keypad conveniently lights up for use during dark hours and is powered by 4 AA batteries, so no wiring necessary during installation.

So for peace of mind, deterrence of thieves and protection of all your stuff, consider upgrading to a combination lock or a keypad programmable RV door lock from HannaRV.com for better security during your camping and travels.
