Camco Sewer Hose Supports: Sidewinder vs Rhino

A supported RV sewer hose is easier to route downhill and less likely to sag along the campsite. Camco offers hinged Sidewinder supports in four lengths, plus Rhino kits with separate trays that nest for storage. This guide compares the differences so you can choose the right layout for your waste-hose run.

Three ways to support a waste hose

Sidewinder hinged supports

Camco 43031, 43041, 43051 and 43061 form a continuous, winding line of lightweight plastic cradles. The deep holders keep the hose in place without separate tie-down straps. The 30-foot model stores with a strap instead of a carry handle.

Rhino 43071: height-adjustable trays

Six 30-inch troughs can be placed independently along a hose run of up to 20 feet. Stakes allow elevation up to 10 inches where needed to route over a curb; the trays also work on hard surfaces without staking.

Rhino 43072: nesting supports

Five separate orange support sections suit an RV sewer-hose run of up to 15 feet. They nest together for storage, with a strap for the set.

Match the hose run, not just the box

Measure the path from the RV waste outlet to the dump connection, allowing for obstacles. A 20-foot hose-support rating does not mean every part provides a continuous 20 feet of cradle.

Setting up a downhill sewer connection

  1. Measure the intended hose path, including any bend around obstacles, before choosing a 10-, 15-, 20- or 30-foot support.
  2. Choose a continuous Sidewinder cradle or individually positioned Rhino troughs based on the ground and the height differences along the route.
  3. Keep the hose supported with a consistent downhill direction toward the approved sewer inlet; reposition the sections when the campsite slopes the wrong way.
  4. On Rhino 43071, use the individual staking and height-adjustment features according to the manufacturer's instructions and ground conditions.
  5. Confirm hose-end fittings, leak-free connections and local dump-station requirements. The support does not include a waste hose or an elbow.
Sewer-hose support length describes the supported hose run, not necessarily one unbroken length of support. Follow proper drainage and sanitation procedures.
