Gerald,
 Although the "standard location" for campground connections is at the
streetside rear of a site, you can't bet on it. We stayed at a State
Park (Lousianna, I think) that had pairs of "inline" sites (one rig in
front of the other) with the water and electric hookups between the
pairs. So, 2 rigs would have to run long hoses and cords over to the
curbside connections; it required a 50' hose and a 50' cord.

When we first got started, a friend told me to carry a 25' AND a 50'
hose, along with at least 50' of electrical cord. We needed both the
cord and the hoses during our trip, and even had enough to loan a cord
and hose to a neighbor at the above-mentioned park. We also carry "the
ultimate sewer hookup" from Camping World that consists of 2, 10'
slinkys and a coupler. The slinkys have a plastic sleeve on the ends
that gives a nice slip fit on all fittings with no clamps necessary. I
like this setup a lot, and we had to use both slinkys at one point. It's
a bit of a PITA to carry all this stuff, but it'd be moreso if we didn't
have it.
