Don't know much about the Blueline hose but the push-on fittings are a great idea. Not a fan of the standard bayonet fittings and struggle with them sometimes. It looks like the Blueline hose is made from vinyl while their Duraform Premium hose is made from reinforced polyolefin. Vinyl should be avoided if you want a longer lasting hose.
When looking for a good sewer hose, you want to look at the specs for the material it's made from, the wall thickness, crush resistance, collapsed length and flexibility. The specs can be hard to find and may need some digging around. The hose manufacturers don't always have the full specs on their websites for some reason. The material and thickness is important as it affects durability, life and crush resistance.
We replaced our 5 year old red Valterra EZ-coupler hoses because they developed a couple of pinhole leaks and some permanent kinks. After much searching and studying specs, I bought a Valterra Viper hose kit (2 @ 10') which is made from 25 mil TPE, collapses to a short length and is crush-resistant. The 2 more decent hoses out of our 4 old hoses are now spares in the bumper for times we may ever need more than 20' of hose.

I'll stick with the standard bayonet like the Valterra your using. Not sure what problem you have with them, hard to twist? Try a little Vaseline on the male end. |

We use the Sewer Solution (good YouTube videos on how it works) but we also carry a full Rhino setup as a backup ... haven't needed it yet.

Waste Master System looks like the real deal but more focused towards full time RV'ers rather than us weekend warriors. Especially with the fixed 90 degree at the head, it's got to be a pain to store. I watched the storage mod on Love Your RV and it looked pretty extensive. |

I use a plastic bin to store my sewer hose's in since they will not fit into my bumper, works great, but that system is way above my price range, as well not stay in one place over week  Safe Travels Chuck |

Chuck, the Sportster's have very. very little storage. Especially if you have the onboard Onan like we do. We have just the basement to the front of the coach. We sacrifice storage in the Toy Haulers, so anything that can be mounted underneath is a plus. A simple bin would be ideal, but the TH's don't have the space for it.

doublewa We had a large long tube that i bought from camping world that I mounted on the back under our bumper of our 384. Was really nice an I could store our sewer hose in such till I pulled out of a fly-J an scraped the thing off the back just before the bumper Ugh  So now I store the hose in the big plastic bin an wash it out after I get home after every outing unless on the road for a few weeks, then I wash it out an let it dry overnight under the trailer when we stop Safe Travels Chuck Attachments:

That's the other problem, we don't have a rear bumper either since we have the ramp door. It's looking like my only option in going to be to find a mounting solution to my underbelly.

doublewa This is what I had, it was not attached to the bumper but the frame just before the bumper in the rear of the trailer... Also I thought about putting it just before the sewer outlet under the trailer attaching it to the frame, which If I buy another I might just do that or attach it high on the wall in the storage area out of the way www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/adjustable-ez-hose-carrier-50-94l-black/104634Safe travels  Chuck |

Go here and look at the storage box and tubes that come with it. You can mount this under your RV near the dump outlet. Just got mine in so mounting shortly. It is keyed so hope to keep it locked up and out of the storage bay it's in now. I'm not a full-timer, we follow the grandkids around in their sports activities. thats why the toyhauler, golf cart and room for all the softball teammates the granddaughter invites over during our trips. |

Interesting. I'll have to check that out. We only have the 10' garage, so our space is severly limited, but I'm sure I can find something on here that will work. Thanks! |

I've been using the "Rino" for several years and like it so far. No leaks at fittings. My old hose was the cam lock style. It was hard to get it to latch properly and twice it came apart on me. I don't remember the brand.

How long do the Rhinos last for you? That's what we had until this weekend when both our Rhinos cracked, one when taking it off in our garage, and one that froze at a campground. One hose was probably 6 years old and the other only 2 years old. We replaced with Valterra but yowza it was expensive.
