Sewer hose compartment??

[WDK]

Does anyone know of a hidden compartment where there sewer hose goes on a 2014 Georgetown 280DS? Just picked it up today....I will update my profile when I more energetic....outfitting is always a bear!

[Lostdog]

Don't know of any hidden stinky slinky compartment but made one out of a 8x8x 8ft fence post I bought from Lowes and hung it on the jack brackets.

[WDK]

Hummmm I am so wondering why that was omitted.....I plan to get some
PVC pipe, 4" cap one end with screw cap on the other end and mount it
to the frame underneath as well.

Thank you.

We just did a Sliding sewer hose mod on our new TT. Using the 5x5 fence post cover and a vinyl gutter. We mounted it under the back bumper, but now thinking to move it some where else. We dont have hills here but plan to travel in the future that might have steep hills.

Do you have pictures of it mounted to the jack brackets. We want to move ours but dont have much available space because our TT is only 19 feet long so its pretty compact under there.

Thank you.

If you have bayonet style connectors you will need the 5" fence post. I used the square one because it was a lot easier to mount flush to the jack brackets.

The Georgetown 280DS does not come with a bumper or in effect a hollow tube to store your stinky slinky in. I don't know who's infinite wisdom that was but had I known I would have given some extra though to my purchase....however you can't pull the best from each coach so you have to settle on one....here is my solution..

We've not done the PVC fence post mod yet, so for now we use a round/circular wreath storage box (plastic) that I caught on sale right after Christmas at WalMart.

It seems my pictures regarding this did not come out right so I am reposting in an effort to show how 28I solved the stinky slinky carrier on the Georgetown280DS.

Really cool WDK. We currently store ours in one of those large plastic bins, but will be doing something similar to yours.

[WDK]

Thank you.....if you can get it, use a 5" PVC or ABS. The locking knobs on the slinky hose fittings were just a little big to fit through the ridge of the coupling needed for your cap so I had to file that down as well as the knobs to make it slide in and out the way it should.

We mounted a Camco holder to the leveling jacks parallel to the sewer line.
How do you keep the tires from ripping it up when you hit a bump?

Looks like it is really close to the tire tread.

[WDK]

I am about 4 inches above my tire.....so far I have out about 200 miles on it and there is barely any road dirt on it having driven through and some fairly uneven terrain.....I cannot see where you would drive your coach so rough that you could bounce your tires into it and I am quite secure that the straps I am using would hold should it ever rub a little but that is very doubtful.

Thank you.

Most RVs have a back bumper made out of metal that has removable end capsfor sewer storage...

[WDK]

Not the GeorgeTown280DS....

Edit:
Looks like there may be some attachment points underneath by the TOAD hookup...

You can use my Mod as a template - I used 5x5 fencepost for 2 main reasons:
1. It's lighter yet still as durable (those 4" PVC pipes are thick!)
2. You can use a 4 1/2" PVC gutter as a slider - which also doubles as a ramp for your sewer line!

If you can I would get a 5 inch....the coupling needed to put the screw cap together has a ridge in it as all couplings do. Using a 4 inch myself I had to file that ridge down as well as take a little off the slinky coupling nubs to get it to fit the way I wanted it too....yeah only about another 20 minutes worth of work so up to you....

Now THAT's a good idea!!
