Dump Hose Storage

Searched for a post on this but can't find anything. Where do you store yours? Previous owner stored his in a very small tote on the front near gas tanks. That means having to scrunch it up when it is wet! I am thinking about a PVC pipe mounted underneath but not sure where to attach or how.
If there is a thread, could someone tell me where? If not, has anyone done the PVC pipe storage and could share?
Thanks

My (injured) 3326 has storage in the trailer's rear bumper. Others have used threaded PVC pipe like you describe to store the hose...

I have space there also. Would be better, I think, than having to scrunch it up to put in a little plastic tote on front. Also, I have read some campgrounds require a "doughnut" on the sewer hose. Can you tell me what this is? I have searched for item in RV supplies but have not found anything called a "doughnut".
Thanks

Bumper storage for me. 2x sewer hoses, attachments on the right compartment, crank for hitch jack & scissor jacks, small container with odds & ends for water hoses, and the 4' and 10' hoses, sometimes a 5 gal collapsing water tote, all in the bumper. Very convenient, as I can access it with the shells down.

My sewer hoses have little orange caps that go over the ends, air tight, so I can rinse them out, then cap one end, compress the hose, and cap the other and they keep their small size. Makes for easy storage.

I'm not sure, but is a donut the ring that makes for a tighter seal with the sewer outlet? I'd think that'd be more important for a site with hookups--I've personally never seen any kind of requirement for a dump station, but I can easily see that someplace with a hookup would want that to be sealed well, less change of fumes/odors or spillage happening at the campsites that way.

My Elkmont has excellent storage for the sewage goodies in the bumper. The previous trailer that I had did not, so I did the mod as described in the attached link:

The fence post used can be bought at most Lowe's home improvement stores. Mine worked great.

Yes, requirement was for hookup at site. I was kind of guessing that this is what it is but have not found it anywhere as being called a doughnut. Am thinking that if we had a sight with sewer hook ups would not be continually hooked up, only using to dump before we left site. But best to be prepared for anything.
Thanks!

Don't really know what it is called, maybe 'adapter' or something like that. It is usually rubber and allows the hose to seal with different diameter dump lines. No big deal, probably pretty inexpensive.

I have the old style chrome square bumper that is supposed to store the hose but it doesn't fit with adapters. Does everyone take these off everytime? It just seems to take more work and the less I have to deal with the sewer hose the better. I just have been throwing it in the truck bed but I don't like that either.

I am using the two Camco connectors pictured. Rotating the yellow knob to align with an inside bumper corner allows it to fit inside the bumper. Are you using similar connectors?
