    My wife says how long should it be!!!

    I use an extendable waste hose. It is very compact, rolls up into a small bag when not in use. It is much cheaper than a normal caravan hose and fits a standard caravan connector. Have a look at This

    Alko Handbrake/Axle Problem

    Corner steady extensions

    I would like some advice from Lutz (please)
