Why would you not place the sewer those where it's supposed to be? I don't ever want that thing inside my camper growing bacterial death all over everything exposed to the air around it.

That looks great! I really like how organized everything is. When I see an RV storage area where everything is a mess it makes me cringe.
Thanks for sharing.

There is a saying that goes something like this: "If you can't think of something nice to say, don't say anything at all."

I thought I did say something nice.... I didn't realize we were in a snowflake zone.

Bumper? I would imagine that they thought of a **** residue storage area while building the rig... Like they do in just about every other camper/trailer type thing.

Georgetown units don’t have a bumper that’s hollow to store the hose.
You may see them on trailers and some Class C units, but not on a Georgetown.

Now I understand the dilemma; you haven't a clue.

FYI my 2020 SOB doesn’t come with a rear bumper that is supposedly made for a sewer hose. I will say this I’m so glad. Because in all my other rigs, I was replacing these expensive hoses do to rust getting on the hoes, and dragging in and out of that tight compartment many times I had pinholes in the hose and replaced. So I’m so glad mine doesn’t have one as they are useless in my point. Also any rv center sells extendable tubes that’s way larger in diameter and cost of $50 is way less than replacing a sewer hose. Those darn bumpers are way to small anyways.

Like the work the OP did, but..........

To expand on this, on my 2012 there is a compartment on the street side that is completely closed off from the rest of the RV. This is where I keep my sewer hoses and fittings. I keep them stored in a storage container. Keeps them all by themselves.

Then you have a designated place; however, you designated the place not the manufacturer as has been suggested by some individuals only familiar with tow RV's. My storage is different than yours but is my choosing. Haven't owned a class A MH that had a specified area for sewer hoses and such. Probably some out there though. I'm done.

Well since we are in the MH section, that is what I was referring to.
