Better way to store sewer accessories?

I am looking for a better solution to store my sewer accessories.

Specifically the adapter for the Rhinoflex, the hydroflush and the sidewinder hose support.

How are you storing these during transport and storage?

I bought a ziplock plastic storage container from Walmart. It's basically a plastic storage tote that has a seal in it when you latch it shut. I have one that I labeled fresh water and one labeled black water. They work great for me.

I definitely would appreciate some helpful tips on this as well. Planning for our first camping trip in the X23f in 2 months and am researching all I can on what the "essential" sewer tools are to have to properly clean the tank, etc. Starting to get a rather large tab on my Amazon wish list! Sure it's all fun when the cleaning tools, hoses, fittings, etc are new and clean but after that first use I'd sure like to have a good plan on how to keep them stored in fashion that will not cause me any regrets!

I bought a really good sealable storage bin. I made sure the bin was one that would completely seal and not 'drip'. Might have to pay a few more bucks but it's worth it.

I have a sealable storage bin that holds my twist on valve, the rubber donut and the clear attachment for my hose. Every thing else goes in a 5 1/2 inch pvc that is attached under the rig. It holds a 5' and a 15' section of hose with all fittings attached and a door that is on each end.

Always use disposable gloves and hand sanitizer before washing your hands.

I use a plastic tub for sewer stuff (I have the sewer solution instead of a slinky). I've cut holes in the tub with a hole saw to allow things to dry out, and "No" there's no smell. Now that we have the 5th (with lots of storage) I use a second tub for the fresh water things. When we had the X23B I discovered the "black tub" would fit in the shower pan for travel/storage. We always use full hook-up CG's. When camping the tub would fit out of the way under the TT close to the sewer drain. It was a big tub but never seemed to get in the way.
2x on the rubber gloves!

That's what we do along with "throw away rubber gloves"

I use a storage bin, but leave it open. I would not want to keep all the moisture in the bin. Just think of what might start growing! I rinse anything that might be dirty, shake off the excess water and throw it in the bin in my storage compartment. It never stinks and dries quickly. The slinky is in the back bumper.

I should add that when we get home I soak all the black accessories in the container with bleach & water, let sit for good while, drain and let dry. Then all goes back to TT.

I use an old plastic clothes hamper. It has ventilation and a lid. Not sealed but I keep it in my truck bed.

Don't want that anywhere near the inside my trailer :-)

I keep the slinky in the bumper, accessory's in a bucket. I dont use rubber gloves, I rinse the hose, and when finished, wash my hands with soap.

I use a hard plastic bin for my sewer hose support and water hose I use to back flush the black tank. I use a Ziplock Big Bag XL to store both sections of hose and another smaller ziplock bag to hold the hose fittings. I like the bags because I can push them into a smaller space and are watertight. I keep latex disposable gloves in a ziplock in my truck.

I do this in the tote usually every other trip and allow for the tub to "bake" dry when we get home. With 2 drains I have a lot of pipe and connectors, so my tub is larger. Most of the hose is in the bumper, connected and sealed.

Usually a 1/4 cup to the 8 or so gallons it takes to get things covered.

I have a small canvas tote that hold all the fittings and a bag of disposable gloves. I coil my flush hose and hang it with a bungee cord on the spare tire rack.

OT - I have purchased cheap reusable shopping bags from home depot as they are big, collapse, and hold my freshwater hose. I have IKEA shopping bags to transport firewood.

I use the 6" fence post sleve mounted under the TT. It has a large enough opening to fit a long hose and attachments inside. Never wanted that stuff inside to begin with.

Black tank question: I have a black tank flush on the side of the TT. After dumping the black tank I shut the dump valve and hook the hose up to the tank flush. Put some water in the black tank via the hose to the flush fitting. I then get in the truck and move it back and forth a few feet to get the water "sloshing" Then dump again. This was the first time camping (and dumping) First question: what would happen if I overfilled the black tank with the flush hose? (dump valve closed) Would it come out some vent? Is there a vent at the roof like a house? 2nd question: Does the procedure of filling a bit and sloshing around and dumping again make any sense? This whole dumping procedure is something I have to get down a bit better
