Sewer hose storage

Hello- next weekend we trade in our 3011DS for a Georgetown XL 377! Very excited with lots of questions. The first of which is where is a convenient place to store the sewer hose without a square rear bumper ??

Thanks,

Denny

I use a clear plastic tote from Walmart, it is about 5" high 20" long 18" wide with a snap lock on each end.

I just make sure it is clean inside before I put it away.

Goes in the basement.

In my 328TS, I just use one of the smaller storage compartments. I put my non-potable water hose in there too. I put my fresh water hose in an even smaller compartment on the other side of the coach, right in front of the large rear pass through compartment.

Yep the 5x5 fencepost mod is very popular. What we used was 7" long carriage bolts and thumb screws to keep the end caps on

I went with a small tie down strap to hold on the cap. With the 5x5 post, you can use a piece of rain gutter as a drawer of sorts (and it doubles as a sewer hose support if you wish).

This is how we store ours. Hidden away under the coach.
