those that have mounted the fence post underneath the TT... do you have any pictures of how you mounted it to the frame? I like this mod and I have plenty of room underneath, but cannot mount to the bumper as I have not only the spare tire but also a hitch mounted to the bumper. THX!

Would also like to see pics. Our 30U does not have a rear bumper. I mounted 2 lengths of 4" ABS pipe to the A frame between the trailer and LP tanks for Sewer hose and a coiled water hose for wash down (not for potable use) but I would like to move the LP tanks forward and do the tool, battery box mod where the ABS is so I will need to move the hose storage.

I made some from foundation straps also. Make sure you don't leave screws sticking thru inside to damage the hose. As additional security, I used a galvanized pipe strap on each end for good measure.

Supplemental Sewer Hose Compartment - EZ-Hose Container - X18D

I bought a EZ - Hose container and mounted the contailer underneath my X18D. I didn't want to store the hose inside my storage compartment. I used two aluminum spacers and nuts and bolts from lowes.

I built a tube almost identical to yours for storing the slide rails for the pull out bed on my Outback.

I am feeling inspired. Maybe a project for the spring.

I added a vinyl fence post to my bumper to hold a Rino hose. The leftover piece of the post I added to the front of the trailer to hold "outside" items.

I have a Polychute. Works great. Only issue is I can never get it to go nicely back into the container. Other then that, I have had no issues with it. I store it in the container (with bungee cords holding the lid on) in one of my drivers side compartments on my 2012 Greyhawk 31DS.

I have the rhino and it fits perfect into my bumper if I turn it just the right way. I would not go back to any other hose I've been though so many and finally found one I like. I'm a little anal(no pun intended) about my black tank being as clean as possible. so I have 2 different clear fittings that attach to the camper side than to the hose that way I can see when water runs clear. I have a tank flush kit and it seems to do a good job. wouldn't drink it but looks clean:hihi:

I coil all of the hoses and put them in a drywall bucket that is stored in the back of the pickup.

I installed two Valterra E-Z Hose Carriers under my previous trailer, near the sewer outlet.



I plan to install these under my Jayco TH.

Thats how I fit my Rhino as well. I just keep it close to the edge so I can still grab it as it is tight..

I can't find the 4.5" post cover at my local Home Depot, just the smaller 4". Anyone in Canada find the larger one somewhere?

The hose that came with my 23b would pop open the storage door. I tried strengthening the latch, but it didn't help because the door/latch would still flex. I used some sealant on a screw to give the hose a lock to hold position. FWIW.

The hose that came with my 23b is only about 30 inches long to fit the holder. From what has been posted in this thread I'm concerned that I might need something longer. Can I get by OK with what I have? vic

It is not a post cover -- it is the vinyl fencing post itself. I think it was in a different section of the store. However, I bought at Lowes.

I do not see it listed online at HD. However, here is the listing at Lowes.
