When we bought our tt it came with a 5 gallon bucket of starter camping stuff and some of the stuff was a sewer hose and fitting. It fit if you turn it at an angle and it fits tight so it won't slide to the middle. The fitting is a 45 degree.

Standard sewer hose fits in the rear bumper no problem. I've upgraded to Dominator sewer hoses and they fit in there as well.

I keep all my fittings in a sealed bucket, like the elbow, Flush King and such. The bucket is in the rear compartment.

I've kept two 10' hoses in mine for almost a year, now. I have a clear 45* elbow that I have to remove, but it fits inside the bumper, too, if I put it in "male" end first.

We carry 2 RhinoFlex hoses, a 15ft and a 5ft extension and both fit nicely in the 4in bumper in our Eagle. A simple rotation of the fittings and in they go.

I keep my Camco Revolution (2 10' sections) in the bumper of our Jay Flight. The "ears" on the fittings fit perfectly diagonally. The fittings (hose adapter, 90* sewer adapter, caps...) go in the adjacent storage compartment in an old grey plastic dish tub.

I've read stories about peoples' bumpers rusting out from storing their hose in there, so I'm thinking about getting some of those bumper caps with the ventilation so everything can dry out...

Our 15-ft RhinoFlex fits in our bumper. But I keep the 10-ft extension in a plastic Rubbermade bin (along with 45-degree fitting and black tank flush hose).

I have noticed rust on the exterior of my hose from being stored inside the bumper (and the end-caps are vented).

Me too. I think there is a thread where someone painted/treated the inside of their bumper.

That's not encouraging. I remember that thread, and I thought it was a good idea.

Since the bumper is only good for holding the hose, what about "perforating" it? I wonder if it would help if you went along and drilled holes in the bottom for additional ventilation and drainage?

Or would the introduction of more exposed metal just exacerbate the problem?

The hose will have spots worn in it from movement on the road and will eventually fail prematurely. It is an industry wide thing with the sewer hose but I stopped carrying hoses in there years ago and now slide my PVC hose supports in that 4 in. bumper.

Since we have the "C" channel bumper we really didnt have much of an option but I would still think about the 6x6 PVC storage. If you plan on keeping your TT for a long time or use a bike rack etc off the bumper I'd pass on putting the hose in there due to possible rusting inside/out. Once its painted black you never know its under there. Holds 2 decent sized hoses and all the fittings, seals etc. and drilled for drainage/air flow. My best mod to date!
