This invention provides a solution to the unpleasant and unhygienic chore of cleaning and transporting a reusable sewer hose on a recreational vehicle or cabin trailer. A disposable sewer hose comprises: a compressed spiral member having generally uniform turns which are in direct contact with each other before elongation; and, a plastic sleeve slidably surrounding the spiral member having opposite open ends. When the spiral member is maximally compressed the turns thereof are in direct contact with each other unseparated by the plastic sleeve, thereby facilitating maximal compression and elongation. In a preferred aspect of the invention a tube which is sized to be matably received within a male connector houses the disposable sewer hose before and after use. A flexible strip having opposite end portions has one end portion longitudinally attached to the tube, and the other opposite end portion having a hole therethrough. When the tube is mated within the connector, the hole on the other end of the strip may be positioned over and around a nipple on the connector thereby releasably locking the tube within the connector.
