Dang, we have now gone through 3 Rhino sewer hoses in 3 years. And they are supposed to be the best r at least one of the best on the market. Maybe moving every weeks just gives them to much of a workout.

That's what we're averaging as well. We had an expensive Drain Master hose that failed as well. I'm contemplating setting up a macerator system that I can leave in place, much like Jack Mayer has.

Do you use supports underneath the hoses? Laying on surfaces can affect the hose because of 'knicks', heat build up, etc. We've had the same rhino hose for 3 years and no noticeable wear to it, but when out we always support the hose.

Yup, always use supports. I'm glad I always run a little grey water through before dumping the black. It would have been a mess this time because the rip was pretty good sized. And I'm glad I always keep a spare hose. Well,, I don't have a spare now that my spare is the main.
I think there is a Rhino extreme, I may look at that next.

Rhino extreme is a competitor to Thetford's Smart system. Both of these are a pain on short runs, since the hose opens up completely and ends up off the supports and fully uncoiled. The normal Rhino does not uncoil, but the extreme does.

for supports I use 4' lengths of vinyl rain gutters overlapped as needed works well .....short money !!

I do the same thing if my main support isn't long enough or if it's rough ground and the support isn't stable.
