Got Me A Sewer Tube.

[JKyle]

I have a Rhino sewer hose. At some point after my 2nd trip this year, I must've really put that septic tank fitting on the end of the hose so well, I can't get it off! Since then, I have not been able to store it in my bumper, because the fitting is too big.

It can stay on there, but I'm tired of a big storage bin, which houses the hose, taking up space in my front passthrough.

I was perusing Amazon the other day and found one of those Camco sewer storage tubes, that attaches to the underside of bumper of your camper. It's big enough in diameter to accommodate the fitting that is currently stuck on the end of the hose. It's also expandable in length for best install applicationn. I was able to grab one of the 'USED LIKE NEW" options which saved me $12. Got it yesterday and it's good to go.

I've yet to 'scope out' out where I might install it. Anyone out there want to share where you installed yours. I have a 22rb. I considered mounting it underneath, right near the sewer valve pull station, if it'll fit.

I didn’t attempt to use the bumper to store my Rhino sewer hose. The elbow is too big to go in the bumper besides, I didn’t want to have the inside of the bumper rusting and stinking. I got a section of 8inch PVC pipe and attachments for each end to have the screw on ends. It fits perfectly and snuggly between the spare tire carrier and the camper. I strapped it down with heavy duty zip ties. Drilled holes in the bottom of the PVC for any drainage and holes in each end screw caps for ventilation. Easy in, easy out. Flush the inside on occasions for cleaning. Cut it long enough to store any caps or adapters as well.

Thanks for the photos.
This was going to be my strategy until I realized I could buy the tube for less than constructing it from PVC. This may not have been true several years ago, as prices weren't as high for construction stuff. OR if you're on a job site with some leftover free stuff, it would make sense.

Do you or have you replaced the zip ties due to becoming weak and brittle with age?

Get some hangar strap and a couple bolts.

No not yet. Only two years old using the zip ties. I figure eventually I’ll have to replace them. The zip ties are pretty thick. I had considered the metal straps Grumpy has mentioned, but chose to use zip ties. At least to start with.

I use straps and heavy zip ties just in case. Make sure you have road clearance and place it so a blown tire will not damage it.

See what Grumpy just did:

Think about stainless steel zip ties. I have used them on exhaust system heat shields when the OEM straps rusted away.

One of my 2025 projects. Im currently on my last trip of the season. I gave a 2025 list already starred.

My 2024 29RLC came with a sewer hose storage already mounted underneath near the front by the storage doors.

These would last a long time it seems, seen traffic lights are put up with them now! Suggest using several in case one fails though.

Do the stainless straps require a special tool? Also, I'd need greater than 24" length to go around the tube and bumper. Seems up to 24" are available but don't see much otherwise in greater lengths.

Great item stainless steel zip ties. They work the same as nylon zip ties. No special tool is needed just pliers. Amazon has 24”, 270 lb. rated, 100 pieces for $17.99.

quick search shows 40" ones on Amazon....don't really know about the tool part.
