First, thank you all for your VERY kind words! They're VERY much
appreciated! I'm always glad to help out where I can.
Now to your question:
So now its time to change my sewer hoses. Any particular brand or type
better than others for NOT getting saturated with odors?
The most odor-resistant hose on the market, hands down, is AVS96, made
by Australian Global Services--"AussieGlobe" at
http://www.aussieglobe.com/avs96.htm
It's the same hose that was originally sold exclusively for several
years in the US by SeaLand under their private label brand name
"OdorSafe"...and has been proven in independent testing to be at least
16x more resistant to odor permeation than any other hose. Not long
after Dometic--an Italian mfr who specializes primarily in RV
equipment--acquired SeaLand from N.A. Taylor, SeaLand switched to an
Italian hose mfr. Is it as good as AVS96? All I know is that they now
only claim that their new "OdorSafePlus" hose is 20% more resistant to
odor permeation than most other hoses, are not promoting it at all...and
have begun recommending hard PVC for some installations, and now offer
fittings to connect hard pipe to hose.
Meanwhile, AussieGlobe
http://www.aussieglobe.com/avs96.htm is now
selling their AVS96 hose direct here in the US--and for a LOT less than
SeaLand charged for it, or for their new OdorsafePlus...$5/ft, cut to
any length vs. nearly $9/ft for SeaLand in min. 50' coils.
I will warn you that the stuff is as stiff as an ironing board! Don't
heat it to bend it tighter than it wants to go willingly...that'll
damage it. Break it and insert inline radius fittings.
