another vinyl post mod

since we use the "sewer solution", I won't be storing a slinky in these, ... truth is, I'm not sure just what they will be used for, we really don't need them right now, I just wanted to do the mod, ... and because they aren't made for the slinky, I also didn't want to use the 4" vinyl gutter for the drawer, ... its shape is great for a sewer hose, but it does leave a lot of unused space in the corners, ... I bought the 5" aluminum gutter and shaped it to have square corners and a better fit for the way we will be using them, ... I hung them from the frame on each side, without any holes in the frame or in the post either, ... the pic shows the hardware, ... much of which I made myself, square washers ect, to get a custom fit without any holes ...

the "sewer solution" is a sewer pump system that uses your water pressure instead an electric pump, ... a small water jet breaks up solids and pushes everything to the site drain pipe, ... works great, ... in five years and three trailers, I've never used a slinky for our sewer at a full hookup site, ...


there are several YouTube videos showing how it works .....

Walmart has spray paint that's designed to stick to plastic. Not real expensive, either.

Sewer Solution storage

I have the "sewer solution". I use my bumper storage for storing extra lengths of 1" pvc along with a couple of couplers, 90 & 45 deg. fittings. I actually had to use the extra lengths two weeks ago. Maybe you can use that extra space for pvc too.

you are so right, ... I also carry a couple of pieces of pvc pipe for those times when the 10' sewer solution hose just isn't quite enough, and I don't need the full length of the spare 10' hose, ... I hadn't thought of them until this morning when I was looking in the camper shell for stuff to move to the posts, ... so, yep, they've already found a new home in one of the post, ... and I'm sure DW will have no trouble filling up the other one,
