Stink Hose Storage

I am was planning to be in Arizona now. But due to covid we decided to stay home and stay safe. So I am posting a few mods to amuse myself and others as it is 9 degrees and windy here today.
I needed a place to store my stink hose that is two hoses together and the 90 degree clear elbow. I didn't want to waste storage compartment space. I don't have a bumper and those usually won't fit the elbow anyway. If I had a storage bumper I would of just used that and dealt with the elbow.
So I was looking in my propane storage door and noticed a lot of unused space. So I bought the 6" pvc pipe kit from HomeDepot.com that they use for storage on plumber's vans and such. I used a pvc cap at the other end and drilled holes for drainage so I can rinse it out. I made sure I mounted it with a slight pitch. My propane Is just a couple doors away from my tank drains so all is close by at dumping time.
Now I just slide both hoses and the elbow in as one unit and it is all hidden and done without using existing storage space. Don't make it any longer than needed so the hose doesn't slide down out of reach.

You just need to get the 6" pvc at a plumbing supply store as HD doesn't carry it at stores.

I mounted a 5" post cover on my bumper and slid a piece of gutter in it to act as a drawer. The end caps are held on by cotter pins so it is easy to remove them.
