Top RV Sewer Support Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Setting up your RV’s sewer connection seems straightforward—until it goes horribly wrong. We will help you with these common RV sewer support mistakes so you can keep your site clean (and your neighbors happy).
Common RV Sewer Support Mistakes
- Skipping a Sewer Hose Support Entirely
- Not Creating Enough Slope
- Using the Wrong Length
- Forgetting to Stabilize the Support
- Leaving It Dirty
Mistake 1: Skipping a Sewer Hose Support Entirely
We recommend that you don’t skip supporting your RV sewer hose. If you do, the hose will sag, get damaged, or worse—leak without a structured sewer support system. Always use a sewer hose support to elevate and direct flow.
Mistake 2: Not Creating Enough Slope
Another thing folks often miss is making sure their set up is draining efficiently. Your support should guide the hose downward from the RV to the dump inlet. A flat or uphill setup will cause clogs and slow draining.
Mistake 3: Using the Wrong Length
Too much hose bunched up = uneven flow. Too little = tension that can cause disconnects. Choose a support that accommodates various lengths easily.
Mistake 4: Forgetting to Stabilize the Support
Wind, weather, or a restless pet can knock over your sewer hose. You should choose an RV sewer support that’s built to stay put—even on uneven ground.
Mistake 5: Leaving It Dirty
It’s easy to forget to clean your support or sewer hose when you are packing up your campsite, however we believe this is an important step in the process. Your support is part of your sewer system—treat it like it is. Rinse it off and store it separately from fresh water gear.
