Use for "sewer hose storage hole"

What do you guys use this storage area for?

I tried fishing poles and the hole is too short.
I tried the sewer hose (with attachmt) and the hole diameter is too small.
I tried the cat and she did not think it was funny.

I keep my valuables in there. I am hoping that is the last place a thief will look!
Yes, I have the same problem with the sewer hose compartment.
I am thinking of using it to store my cable for cable tv.

If you can't get your sewer hose(s) in your bumper, I can only guess that it must have something to do with the type of connectors you have on the ends of your sewer hose or Jayco has reduced the opening size of the bumper. I store both my sewer hoses (a 10' and 20') inside the bumper (one on each side) with no problems. The 10' hose is used only as an extension and simply has female and male bayonet style connectors. The 20' hose has a female bayonet connector and a Valterra 90 degree connector that attaches to a separate Valterra sewer adapter. The sewer adapter will not fit inside the bumper so I keep it, and the "donut" ring, in a plastic Ziploc bag and store them in one of the TT's compartments.

I will admit, though, it's a tight fit. The male end bayonet connector has to be inserted first, and positioned so that the four points that stick out from the connector are aligned with the corners of the tube. The female bayonet connector just fits and there is so little room between the connector and the inside walls of the bumper that I have to "wiggle" it to get it inside. I could never put the female ends in first.

Extremely tight fit for us, too. I don't know why Jayco can't make them just a little bigger - it wouldn't cost that much more.

I removed mine. I am going to put a piece in there just long enough to hold rubber gloves and sanitizer.

Also an excellent place to store "air heads."

We store our sewer hose with attachments in there. It is a slightly tight fit but manageable if you do as quoted above.

Remember... My husband says emptying the black and grey water tanks are my job! I'm getting to be quite the pro.

Going back to the original post by muelldawg, I believe he is talking about a port dedicated to store the hose and not the bumper.
Some trailers have an door that opens to a tube for the hose.

It is just pvc with a cap on it. You could pop the cap off. If there is nothing near it, then you could fit your fishing poles in there.

Thanks for the wonderful ideas. All good and funny!

Yesterday I folded up (4 folds) our black water hose. We use it to back flush the black water tank. I carefully stuffed this 8 foot long, 1 inch diameter hose into the RV sewer hose storage tube. It was a tight fit.

I have one of those toilet wands with a flexible hose and a spinner at the end to rinse out the black tank. That fits nicely into the little port hole on the side that is labeled "Sewer Hose". I mounted a plastic fence post under the camper that holds my Rhino Hose and all the fittings including a 90 degree elbow.
