Where do you keep your sewer supplies?
In the bumper? In a bag? In a sealed container? Just got a sealed container but was thinking, what if it gets all moldy sitting enclosed in a container.

The hose goes in the bumper. All the rest of the fittings and a 10' garden hose, used only for sewer cleanup, go in a plastic 5 gallon bucket with a sealed lid in the storage compartment. I live in a dry climate and haven't had problems from mold. You could always take things out after a trip and let them air dry if you think it would be a problem.

In my 5er, I keep all things "sewer" in a plastic container with unsealed lid (cleaned of course).

Hoses go in bumper. Clear elbow in a plastic bag in a cardboard box in underneath storage. Collapsible hose for black tank flush in plastic tote.

I made a container for hose out of pvc. Used the same aluminum strapping utility companies use to band things to power poles to strap it to bumper. Had aluminum pop rivets used on aircraft to pop rivet band to pipe and to bottom of bumper. Flush kit, hose and all other items related are in a small tub with latching lid

So, I should be using a different hose for the black tank flush?

My hoses go in the bumper. I have an inexpensive, non-airtight plastic tool box in one of the forward storage area that contains all the connections.

Tim,
Not sure what you meant by this. Are you using your potable hose for your black tank flush?

Should not use fresh water hose for anything related to tank cleaning.

I'm new at this too and only have two trips in the new RV. What I did was buy a valve that I could turn on right at the RV so I could better control the flow of water when flushing the black tank. I just connected that valve to the potable water hose. I thought the water flow would prevent anything from getting onto the potable hose, but I guess I'll take another hose to be on the safe side.

Tim,
Although everybody has their own way of doing things, I agree with Woodworker. I use a separate hose for the black tank flush and segregate it well away from my potable hose.

I agree. And I will add, buy a hose that looks nothing like your potable water hose for your black tank flush so that you don't mix them up by accident. For example, my potable water hoses are white and my black tank flush hoses are bright orange.

I’d get a new fresh water hose. Never mix the two. You could get really sick.

I have 2 totes for “wet” things, one is fresh water and the other is for sewer things. I cut holes in both totes with a hole saw for ventilation. In the sewer box I have my Sewer Solution with 3 x 10’ drain lines, dedicated hose for the SS “pump” and a dedicated host for the black tank flush.
The fresh water box has a 35’ fresh hose with pressure regulator, 2 “Y’s” that are connected via a backflow preventer and an additional 25’ supply line. All of the pieces have brass quick connects so setup is easy and fairly fast.

Since you have already used the potable hose for the black tank, I would buy a new potable hose but, rather than buy a new black tank hose, I wrapped our old potable hose on each end with "Rescue" tape. It is a self fusing silicone tape and it does NOT come off. I used black tape but it comes in many colors.

Yes, to be safe. I bought one of those “shrinking” hoses for hooking to the black flush port. I keep it separate from the white freshwater hose and it looks totally different. Plus it doesn’t take up much space.

A friend suggested that the hose gets stored in a plastic bin with the elbows and collars. The hose itself I "close" by twisting one end on to the other...seems logical if you ask me...nothing leaks out...sealed.
Was this suggestion wrong for some reason?

It's your preference. Everybody is different everybody has their own particulars. As long as nothing in that box can poke a hole in the hose and your comfortable I say go for it
