Valterra Slunky & EasySlider Sewer Hose Supports: Sizes and Parts

A sewer-hose support holds an RV drain hose above the ground and helps prevent low spots where wastewater can collect. Valterra offers two different styles: Slunky accordion supports that flex around obstacles, and the EasySlider telescoping channel for a compatible 10-foot hose. Choose by your sewer-hose run, route around the campsite and the way you want to store the support.

Which Valterra support do you need?

How the Slunky and EasySlider differ

Slunky uses a segmented, folding support with metal hinges, hose pockets and a ridged base. The support can curve around obstacles while maintaining a stepped route toward the drain. The 10-foot S1000 has three tie-down straps; Valterra specifies six on the 15-, 20- and 25-foot models listed here.

EasySlider A04-0009 is a sliding trough with a support chain. Valterra describes it for a 3-inch, 10-foot sewer hose, collapsing to approximately 3 feet when stored. It should not be confused with a 9-foot Slunky or with an accessory storage carrier.

Other Slunky colours

Valterra also offers several Slunky supports in gray or red. These are distinct manufacturer part numbers. Select the length you need, then choose the corresponding colour:

How to lay out the sewer hose support

1. Connect the sewer hose securely to the RV's waste outlet and an approved sewer inlet before opening any dump valve.
2. Choose a support length that covers the hose run where elevation is needed. The support should help the hose drain from the RV toward the sewer inlet rather than leave unsupported low spots.
3. Set the higher end toward the RV and the lower end toward the drain, accounting for the actual height of both connections.
4. Follow the campsite route. A Slunky can curve around obstacles within the limits of its hinged design; secure the hose with the supplied ties. Position an EasySlider trough on stable ground and secure its chain as intended.
5. Inspect the complete setup for sharp hose bends, loose connections, unstable supports and standing wastewater. Clean and fold the support after dumping.

Support versus storage carrier

A Slunky or EasySlider supports the sewer hose while in use. A separate storage carrier protects the collapsed hose between trips. For tube lengths, mounting brackets, vented caps and support saddles, see our Valterra sewer-hose carrier reference. For the fittings at either end of the drain hose, see our Valterra bayonet and EZ Coupler guide.
