Just got our new Rhino flex hose and it does fit in the 22fb rear bumper, it's tight but success. The drain end removable adapter doesn't but no big deal. I think I'll file the ears down some on the swivel connector but I'm a happy camper now. Slinky hose.....stored away!!! Headed out this wkd and can't wait!

Happy Camping!!!
 
Our fits too but that's a good idea to file the tabs a bit :Beerchug: . It is tight and sometimes hard to grab and pull out !!
 
Another suggestion

I also filed the flats down slightly so it wasnt so tight. I then used a lenghth of small (maybe 16 ga) insulated electrical wire, and looped it around the outside diameter of the hose, just behind the coupling, and left enough about a 6" length for a "handle"( I used a butt joint connector to connect the two ends of the wire). Now I put the sewer hose in the bumper and push it back a few inches from the cap. When it's time to pull it out again, I grab the wiring to pull it out. Makes it easier to pull out.
 
I put a cable tie around mine to pull it out, so far so good. I think the electrical wire is a good idea and a much better grip because it is a tight fit in that rear bumper.

Found if I turned the ears to fit into the corners of my sq bumper, it would work. It moves around in transit, and I must turn it as above, to remove. Figured if it was tight, it would stay inside, should the caps pop off.
 
USMC, I wondered about the rust inside the bumper. How in the heck can ya get it out?
