Check model and availabilityValterra Slunky vs EasySlider RV Sewer Hose Supports
A sewer hose lying directly on uneven ground can sag between the RV outlet and the dump connection. Valterra makes two different styles of RV sewer hose support: the telescoping EasySlider and the hinged Slunky range. Compare the distance to the campsite drain, whether the hose path bends and how much storage space you have before choosing a support.
EasySlider versus Slunky: how they differ
EasySlider A04-0009 — rigid telescoping channelDesigned for a 3-inch sewer hose up to 10 feet long. Extend the support along the drain route and secure its chain around the RV sewer outlet. It collapses to approximately 3 feet for storage, so check your compartment length.
Slunky S-series — hinged accordion supportIndividual linked sections allow the hose cradle to follow gentle curves. Metal hinges, ridged feet and fastening straps help keep the support together during use and compact when stored. The available listings cover 10, 15, 20 and 25 feet.
Valterra sewer hose support lengths and colours
The table compares exact manufacturer part numbers. The length is the intended supported hose run—not a claim that a stretched support will compensate for an incorrectly positioned dump connection.
| Valterra MPN | Supported route | Construction | Colour | Included retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A04-0009 | Up to 10 ft | Telescoping rigid channel | Not specified | Chain at RV outlet |
| S1000 | 10 ft | Hinged accordion | Black | 3 tie-downs |
| S1500G | 15 ft | Hinged accordion | Grey | 6 tie-downs |
| S1500R | 15 ft | Hinged accordion | Red | 6 tie-downs |
| S2000G | 20 ft | Hinged accordion | Grey | 6 tie-downs |
| S2000R | 20 ft | Hinged accordion | Red | 6 tie-downs |

Slunky elevation: Valterra lists its standard Slunky support at approximately 7 inches high by the RV outlet and 4.5 inches at the sewer end. The 10-foot S1000 includes three tie-down straps; the 15-, 20- and 25-foot models in this guide are listed with six. Actual campsite ground elevation still needs checking to maintain continuous drainage.
Measure and arrange the sewer hose route
- Measure the path from the RV waste outlet to the sewer inlet, allowing for curves and fittings rather than using only the straight-line distance.
- Choose the length class that supports the hose along that route. Longer is not automatically better for a short hookup.
- Set the highest support end near the RV and keep the hose sloping toward the drain without low pockets where wastewater may collect.
- Follow the support manufacturer's assembly and tie-down instructions; position the feet on stable ground and avoid sharp kinks at the sewer elbow.
- After dumping, disconnect, drain, clean and store the sewer hose and support according to campsite rules and sanitation practices.
Common questions
Is an EasySlider also a sewer-hose storage carrier? No. A04-0009 is a ground-level hose support. Valterra underbody sewer-hose carriers are different products for transporting a hose.
Does red Slunky fit differently than grey? The 15- and 20-foot red and grey models listed here share the same length class and hinge-support function. Match the exact MPN if replacing or supplementing existing equipment; colour alone does not establish all variants are identical.
Can the support replace a sewer hose? No. The hose and its fittings are separate. A support carries the hose along the route and does not connect to a holding tank or campground dump fitting by itself.
