How do you get the clamps to fit in the sewer hose storage pipe?

[Sewhappy]

My DH went out side with different sewer hoses and the hoses fit in the storage pipe but the end caps are too big. How do you make it work? What are we missing? We have a CC 36 ckts.

On mine,I have to turn the ends side ways across to get them in.

[Sewhappy]

I will try that. What brand of sewer hose did you get?

[arpipeliner]

Are u talking about storing in the bumper or hooking up to drain?

[markb5900]

Yes it has to basically turn on the diagonal so the hose fittings end up at the opposite corners or you will never get it in. It JUST fits, but not by much.

I am talking about the sewer hose compartment that is built in the side of the CC 36 ckts. We got a Campco sewer hose. The hose fits great but there is no way the coupling is going to fit any way you turn it. The Rhino was the same.

Mine is the same way. I just put the two ends together making a sealed loop and put in the front storage normally. I am careful not to let it rub or get punctured. The only other option is have seen is putting a PVC pipe with ends that is big enough. I have seen zip ties and hose clamps. I just don't want it on the back of my camper. If they make a bigger bumper I don't know of it.

The better hoses with good ends will not fit into the CC "Sewer Hose" carrier...We have added a "Fence-post" carrier. But you can also now purchase larger carriers now... The existing hose carrier on our rig contains the clothes line...

The fence post was a good idea. Thanks for the link also.

Your spare tire seems to be riding really close to the ground.

It is an "optical illusion".... Actually the drive area where the rig sits slopes up to the back of the rig sharply after where the tires sit so it is very close due to the rig leveling out. Although it does hang lower than our previous rig it is no all that close to the ground when on level ground.

There are some mods to the anemic storage tube posted within the last year or so in addition to the fence post and screw cap PVC tube options.
The one with the larger door and slide out trough caught my attention.

Here's the problem.






Take FR round tube off of Door assembly then attach it to a 5"X5" fence post cover. Seal other end with a post cap silicone on. You can make the post cover as long as you want. Check to make sure nothing is going to interfere with the post cover sliding it 5' or 6' into side of unit.(water lines,heat runs,ect.






Cover assembly attached to post cover








Here's pic of FR round tube (top) and new post cover hose holder (bottom). Rhinoflex is stored in pvc rain gutter. You will have to make a support for the capped end of the post cover.




Installed and ready to use.

That would be the one I remembered... and still a work of art.

[Sewhappy]
