Sink hose replacement help

[akraus]

I have an older Skamper (198?) and the hose from the sink drain to the outside of the camper has to be replaced.  It is a 5/8" ribbed hose and I am having a hard time finding a replacement.  I have been to Canadian Tire and Rona and neither of them have anything that would work.  I have also looked at the Camping World website and didn't find anything suitable.  Anyone have any suggestions of where I should look?

Thanks for the help.

You might want to try a marine store. They often carry those flex hoses in various sizes.

We had the same issue on a 1996 Coleman Key West. Our solution was to go to Lowe's and get a length of dishwasher drain line. It is not rubber, but ribbed plastic. Since it handles hot and cold water, that shouldn't be an issue. The dishwasher line has rubber sleeves on each end that are variable widths (up to 1 inch). We just trimmed down those rubber sleeves to match our old hose width.
