Default sewer hose holder

This is made with 4 inch abs pipe two cleanouts and two plugs mounted with two 4 inch two hole pipe straps and tap into the frame with 1/4- 20 ss screws. Did not like opening the bumper cover ,this works much better!!! The Rip

Default Sewer hose holder

The pipe under the trailer is a good idea since the bumper storage on my 2005 model has so many sharp edges to cut the hose.

Talking Sewer hose holder

I've just completed this "upgrade", and I can not wait to head off to the dump while keeping my TM closed .

I found that my jacks were mounted more towards the rear than "The Rip", but that I had room in front of the jacks with only a minor obstruction of one of the rear drains. I also drilled a series of holes into the plugs, so that some air could circulate and dry out the "stinky slinky" before its next use.

Great project -- MikeD

I also found that the Prest-O-Fit sewer hose and hose adapter fit right in side the 4 inch pipe , It's smaller then other brands of fitting. The Rip

I was going to ask what type of sewer hose connector you all use. I bought the 4" ABS pipe to make one of these nifty holders, only to discover that the Valterra brand connectors on my sewer hose are just a bit too big to fit inside the ABS. Drat.

I guess either I sand them down a bit, or ???

Steve,

I have one hose (originally supplied by the dealer) with what I believe to be a Valterra connector on the end (the rest of my hoses are Prest-O-Fit). The orginal hose does fit - with the connector into the clean-out cavivty usually supplied by the end-cap. I can tighten down on the cap enough to create a secure connection. I can post a picture if that would help.

p.s. -- You can purchase pre-fabricated hose carriers, such as this:

http://www.campingworld.com/browse/p...19&prodID=1483

My problem has always been how to attach the thing since the attachment holes did not line up with my frame. "The Rip's" suggestion of the 4" pipe clamps (which I could only find at an electrical supply house - not one of my typical stores), were perfect for this job (I don't know if they would work on the pre-fab pipe ??). I have a short pre-fab pipe, that I ordered to experiment with -- I could take a measurement to see if it would work wiith the 4" clamps if there is interest.

questions for the "pros".
1)Am I wrong in installing a storage tube longer than the prefabbed one?
I'm thinking more like a 76" or 78" tube would be more useful, maybe for fish rods etc.
2)What sort of "end caps" should I look for? I read a review on the prefab pipe that complained about difficulty in closing & or losing its cap.

I am pretty sure how and where I will mount it, but haven't yet decided on what pipe and caps to look for. The EZ Tube seem a little pricey at $31 plus $16 shipping, and is too short for my needs. I don't even know the difference between pvc or abs pipe!
