I could understand being in a place without full ups and running the small garden hose somewhere to dump, but with full ups the sewer connection is right there and you would just use your regular sewer hose after the tanks were full enough to dump. Just like you would do at the dump stations.....
As pointed above SS is much cleaner to deal with than the stinky one.
I have both in my coach and SS with 50' of extension pipes.
My first choice is to use 3" hose for not worrying about dumping the black tank at the end of camp. Unfortunately most of sewer connections are at the end of parking spot, while sewer outlet on my 40' coach is about 1/2 the length of it. So the 20' big hose seldom is long enough to connect and I never wanted to deal with extensions and than dealing with separating them and cleaning.
With SS I flush whole system with clean water without disconnecting it. Meaning I never touch contaminated part.

It is very easy to set up, and then take down and store. I bought the Rhino hose a few weeks ago, and I had forgotten just how fast the 3 inch hose will empty, and how quickly it will clean. I will probably put the sewer solution in storage, or give it away.
I'll take it!!!!!!

We use the Rhino as well (old style). Our thin one gave out after the first season. We also added a clear coupler for a trout viewing station.

I've been dumping black tank with SS and no water boost after bringing the coach home. My connection was 30' long with only 6" drop.
The moving motion grinds the black tank contest into a soft pulp that flow via 1" hose just fine. Flush it with gray water and you can pretty safely get around without washing.
However "fresh stuff" require water boost for grinding.

Thanks to everyone for their help, I purchased some new regular hoses and I'm gonna give the sewer solution a try as well.
