Abstract
A collapsible support is provided for a flexible RV sewer hose which includes in the preferred form, a plurality of pairs of identical arches. The height of each arch pair is different from the preceding arch pair to allow a sewer hose placed therein to properly flow by gravitational forces from the RV to a septic system. The arches of the support are hinged along the side so that each arch will cradle the sewage hose at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the sewer hose.
