Sewer hose storage in 166FBS or other micro

[DonBr]

Question: Will a standard RhinoFlex fit in the storage tube? If so, how long can it accommodate? If not, what do you use instead?


The "or other micro" in my subject assumes all micros have the same tube, which may be a bad assumption on my part.

I carry a 10 ft. Rhino with a clear end and a 10 ft cheapo for emergency long distance dumps. Both fit in the normal square "bumper" jayco installs.

Note, I upgraded the end caps as the factory stuff kept falling out.

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately you showed my assumption about Micros being the same was not correct.


The 166FBS does not have a bumper. It has a round tube just forward, that is less than full width. I haven't found a picture yet that displays it well. I won't have mine until sometime next week, but I'm collecting info.

Finally found a picture. It is a D&W, but they make more than one so I don't know how long it is, whether a RhinoFlex will fit, and how long a hose will fit.

I'm a fairly new 166FBS owner and this question was also important to me. Fortunately I was at the dealership picking up the trailer and buying stuff I needed at the same time, so I was able to go out and measure.
I forgot the tube diameter. But the RinoFlex that I bought -- orange fittings and solid black hose -- fits, including the attached clear plastic elbow on the outflow end. You just have to uncouple the threaded sewer pipe adapter and it goes in the tube, too.
The tube is 64 inches long. My hose is a 15 foot and it fits with several inches to spare. The Rino boxes say how long they are when collapsed. I was going to get a 20 footer, which is actually two 10 foot sections for flexibility, but it was too long.
Tip: Watch out -- those tube end door hinges and latches are fragile.

Thank you very much! Just what I wanted to know. After I saw the brand I looked at their site and saw their two models are 46 and 64 inches, so glad that it is the longer one. I'm surprised the elbow would fit, but glad that it will.
