2018 Hummingbird Sewer Hose Storage

Hello all! I recently purchased a 2018 Hummingbird (17rk). I don't get to pick it up until some time next week. I've been trying to find photos online to see if there is anywhere that the sewer hose is designed to be stored. What do you Hummingbird owners do? I've seen some use plastic bins and place all the black tank equipment into that and store it in the exterior storage area. Others say they have put it into the bumper (?). Curious what you do and if you have recommendations for me. The hose I plan to use is a RhinoFlex 15 footer. Thanks for any tips you have!

I don't have your model so I don't know if this will work for you but this is what the bumper storage looks like.

A Rhinoflex with a 90 degree elbow on it will not fit in the factory tube bumper. You will have to remove the elbow every time you store it.

I installed a Super-Slider storage tube for ours. It's large enough to allow storage with the elbow still attached to the hose.

That is great info, thank you! That leaves the bumper storage for some other good stuff. Cool.

Here's what I did.





I don't belive a 15 foot hose will fit in this option.

Also use a 5/16 drill and drill all the way through both plastic end caps on the bumper. Then drop a 5 inch long 1/4 bolt through as a pin to keep the caps from flying off. I carry my hose in the bumper, the elbow, gloves, chemical, etc in a tupperware bin.



There is a Facebook Hummingbird Group with lots of good conversation.
