Back in April of 07 Forum Member pritch272 was kind enough to share with us his idea for storing his sewer hose. Gladly I printed out his post,pictures and all saying I'm gonna do that.Well it's now March of 08 and I've finally done it. Pritch272 mounted his under the back bumper. Since I don't have a back bumper it had to be mounted differently.
Like pritch 272's post helped me. Maybe this will help someone else.
Using a 4.75" X 4.75" X 98" PVC fence post cover and 2-1" X 1" angle iron J brackets that are screwed onto the PVC from the bottom up at the outside corners.
The J brackets are then bolted to a frame cross member.
End caps are bungee corded.
Then wood blocks are made to fit in a PVC rain gutter to hold hose and attachment in place. An old drawer pull on the end to pull out the gutter.
Ready to go.

Hey, cool. I love the idea of the rain gutter 'drawer' instead of just stuffing the hose into the tubing. Well, it's off to Lowe's I go.

Total for both pieces of vinyl is less than $27, plus the end caps.
Great idea. I'm definitely rethinking my 6" PVC.

Won't drain holes be needed somewhere? Theres gonna be some liquid drip/weep out of the hose when its stored, or at least there is in my experience.
Maybe slightly tilt one end down.
Super idea though!

FWIW, most of the time I leave the hose in the gutter, and just place the gutter as needed when connecting the hose ends. The gutter keeps the hose straight when dumping. I have a few pieces of gutter, so I can use one of an appropriate length for the specific site. When done, all I need to do is to carry the gutter with the hose inside and slide back into the carrier. The only thing I haven't done that I'd like to do, is to fashion a hanger of some sort to raise the end of the gutter where it connects to the dump connection on the trailer so it forms a downward slope.
I'm glad others are finding my post beneficial, but I have to make it clear that my ideas came from other posts on RV.Net. We are all sharing ideas and help each other, thus the real benefits of the site.

I have an 8" X 6' PVC pipe in the back of the truck as of last year. I slide our carpet piece in there until I can figure how to fasten the pipe to the undercarriage of the TT. Where did you get the cables ?
Thanks for the pictures !
