Sewer hose — how long is long enough?

That's why everyone should watch "RV" starring Robin Williams.

My suggestion would be to get at least one 10 footer, then another 10 or 15 footer.

Well 2 weeks after posting this, I actually camped at a site where I did indeed need 30' of hose and I only had 20', I guess I might have to re-think what I carry. I had to wait until I was ready to go home Sunday morning, hooked up the truck and had to pull forward enough to where my two 10 footers would reach the sewer cap. A bit of a pain, but I was determined NOT to go to their store and purchase another 10' of tubing just for their campsite.
