Ah, the glamorous life of RV ownership—where discussions about black tanks and sewer hoses are as common as campfire s’mores. In our latest newsletter poll, we asked you fine folks a very important question: “What type of RV sewer hose do you use?” And let me tell you, the responses were… well, let’s just say they were fluid. Whether you’re a proud owner of a high-end heavy-duty hose or someone who (gasp!) uses none (how do you sleep at night?), your answers have given us some fascinating—and slightly hilarious—insights.
Before we dive into the results, a quick reminder: This poll was taken in our newsletter! If you didn’t vote this time, make sure to chime in next round so your voice can be heard (and so we can all judge your sewer hose choices accordingly). Now, let’s get into the dirty details.
The Poll Results: A Tale of Tubes and Triumphs
Here’s how the votes stacked up:
| Sewer Hose Type | Percentage of Votes |
|---|---|
| Standard | 15% |
| Heavy-duty | 25% |
| Collapsible | 55% |
| None | 5% |
Collapsible Hoses: The Undisputed Champions
With a whopping 55% of the vote, collapsible hoses have clearly won the hearts (and noses) of RVers everywhere. And honestly, can we blame them? These space-saving wonders fold up like a yoga master after a long stretch, making storage a breeze. No more wrestling with a rigid hose that seems determined to take up your entire underbelly compartment. Plus, they’re basically the Swiss Army knife of sewer hoses—compact, practical, and slightly mysterious in how they manage to not explode under pressure.
Heavy-Duty Hoses: For Those Who Mean Business
Coming in at a respectable 25%, heavy-duty hose users are the Navy SEALs of the RV sewer world. These folks don’t mess around—they want a hose that could probably survive a zombie apocalypse. If you’ve ever watched in awe as someone whips out a hose thicker than your forearm, you’ve met a heavy-duty enthusiast. They might spend a little extra, but hey, when it comes to sewage, overkill is underrated.
Standard Hoses: The Reliable (But Boring) Choice
At 15%, the standard hose crowd is just… there. Not too flashy, not too weak, just doing their job without much fanfare. They’re the Honda Civic of sewer hoses—dependable, affordable, and completely unremarkable. But let’s be real: sometimes, boring is exactly what you need when dealing with literal waste.
The “None” Voters: Living on the Edge
And then there’s the 5% who voted “None.” Who are you? How are you? Do you just… hold it? Use a bucket and pray? We have so many questions. If you’re in this camp, please—please—explain yourselves in the comments. The people demand answers.
Why Did the Results Shake Out This Way?
So, why did collapsible hoses dominate while the “none” voters lurked in the shadows like sewer ninjas? We have a few theories:
- Storage is king – RVers are always battling for space, and collapsible hoses solve a real pain point.
- Ease of use – Nobody wants to wrestle with a stiff hose after a long day of driving.
- The “none” voters are either geniuses or maniacs – We’re still not sure which.
At the end of the day, the best hose is the one that keeps the mess outside your RV. So whether you’re Team Collapsible, Team Heavy-Duty, or Team “I live dangerously,” we salute you. Just… maybe wash your hands after reading this.
