Review on Valterra D04 0250 Dominator Sewer Hose by Adrian Garcia

We have been living in our RV for several years now and usually connect at the odd resort. I've had a couple of hoses and this one has been good so far, it's held up no issues and no leaks so I've given them 4 stars for this year's painless sewer connections. However, after about 14 months I discovered a tear in the hose which quickly turned into a complete hose failure and falling apart like a stinky tightness. The hoses are either tucked away in a storage compartment or plugged in for weeks and haven't really been touched. I think after a few cold nights in winter and too much sun exposure the plastic must have just become brittle. I'm not the only one this happens to either, there are other reviewers with the same issue.
