Camco 10-Foot Extended / 6-Inch Collapsed Fits Standard 3-Inch RV Sewer Hose

Camco 43031 Sidewinder 10-Foot RV Sewer Hose Support

Keep your sewer hose elevated, graded, and flowing in the right direction. The Sidewinder accordion cradle props up a standard 3-inch RV sewer hose across the full 10-foot run, maintaining a consistent downward slope toward the dump station inlet so waste moves by gravity -- not guesswork. It flexes around obstacles, locks into any position, and collapses to just 6 inches when you break camp.

Proper Slope Prevents Backups -- and Mess

A sagging sewer hose is one of the most common causes of slow draining, odor blowback, and embarrassing campground moments. The Sidewinder holds your hose at a consistent downward angle from your RV's outlet to the dump station, letting gravity do the work every time you open the valve.

Unlike rigid plastic cradles that only work on flat, level ground, the Sidewinder's linked accordion segments flex independently. You can route it around a post, a wheel chock, or a curb stop without lifting a tool. Each segment locks firmly at the angle you set and does not creep closed under the weight of a full hose.

Accordion Flex Design

Curves around obstacles in any direction. Each segment holds its set angle without drifting or collapsing under load.

Collapses to 6 Inches

Folds down to just 6 inches for compact storage in your sewer hose carrier or basement compartment.

No Tools, No Assembly

Unfolds and positions in seconds. No straps, no staples, no hardware. Ready to use straight out of the package.

Stackable for Longer Runs

Interlocks with additional Sidewinder units to extend coverage beyond 10 feet when your site demands more distance.

Who Needs This

Any RV owner connecting to a full-hookup site benefits from a sewer hose support, but it is especially important when the dump inlet is more than a few feet from your coach outlet, when the ground is uneven, or when you leave the valve cracked for several days at a time. Full-timers and long-stay campers in particular deal with hose sag that builds up waste solids instead of flushing them through.

The Sidewinder's flexible design also makes it useful at sites where the hookup is not directly behind the coach -- angled sites, pull-throughs with offset pedestals, and coastal or mountain campgrounds with irregular terrain.

Gravity Drainage Done Right

  • Position the tallest section closest to the RV outlet and step it down toward the dump inlet
  • Even a slight consistent grade is enough -- you do not need a steep slope
  • Check that no low spots exist mid-run; a single dip defeats the whole system
  • Use a second Sidewinder unit (Camco 43031 or 43032) to extend coverage for sites over 10 feet away

Stackable System -- Extend as Needed

The Sidewinder 43031 interlocks with other Sidewinder units so you can build a continuous supported run. Camco also offers the Sidewinder 15-foot version (part 43032) if a longer single unit suits your setup better. Multiple 10-foot units can be chained end-to-end for sites requiring 20 feet or more of hose support.

What Is Not Included

This listing is for the hose support cradle only. Sewer hose, fittings, adapters, and bayonet connectors are sold separately. The Sidewinder is designed to cradle a standard 3-inch diameter RV sewer hose -- it does not attach to or seal against the hose itself.

Storage and Care Tips

  • Rinse with water after each use if the hose leaks or drips during disconnection
  • Collapse fully before storing to protect the hinge joints during travel
  • Store flat or rolled in a sewer hose bag alongside your sewer hose to keep everything together
  • Inspect hinge segments periodically -- UV and repeated flexing can fatigue plastic over time

Important Information

  • Cradle only: No sewer hose, fittings, or connectors are included. Purchase your 3-inch sewer hose and adapters separately.
  • Not a seal: The Sidewinder supports and elevates the hose -- it does not attach to, clamp onto, or form a watertight connection with the hose or fittings.
  • Inspect before each trip: UV exposure and repeated flexing can fatigue plastic hinge segments over time. Replace if joints crack or no longer hold position.
  • Ground surface matters: On very soft ground (sand, mud), cradle legs may sink and lose grade. Use a flat board or campsite mat under the legs if needed.
  • Not for black-tank chemical use: Do not pour chemicals, bleach, or tank treatments directly over the cradle -- rinse after any contact to prevent material degradation.
