Quick, Easy, Cheap Sewer Hose Storage DIY; Why Do We Need 3?

We added a 3rd sewer hose storage tube to our Grand Design Reflection Fifth Wheel RV. Its quick and easy.

Why do we need 3 sewer hose storage tubes? Because RV parks aren't designed by RVers! And we are stuck in Florida for the summer, sitting for months - Why? Watch to see what I mean.

Also, I show where and why I place new storage tube - with DIY step by step install.

Larry. you look like you're feeling better, praying you get a diagnosis and treatment plan very soon. Hello Alice!

[dacks]

We carry 1 hose that is short with only one end, for state park dumps, then we have 3 hoses for long term camping and we've had to run all three to get to the sewer connection. Good to see you back doing projects. Hope you have a speedy recovery, once those ding dongs can agree whats wrong. lol

[michaelburt]

I added an additional storage tube to my van. Not for extra sewer hose because I can always move the van closer to the dump station, but for my fishing poles, all four of them fit inside the tube.

[JonnyDIY]

Great job Larry, love the DIY and great tip on the pressing up with the knee drilling 👍 you can truly never have enough doo doo hoses 💩. Will have to check out your diy hose storage video, pretty ingenious idea 👍

[sherriweber]

Thank you for this DIY on your sewer hose extra storage. Glad you got extra hose that will reach sewerage. Hope you are feeling better. And getting better. Still praying for you. 🙏 love you and Alice. ❤❤🤗🥰

Larry, we carry two of the cheaper Rhino hoses with all the fittings, in the factory carrier. Then we have a third Rhino hose with just a fitting on one end to use only at dump stations. I have that in a 5 gallon bucket in the basement storage.

A small brightly colored carabiner will serve to secure the door on the hose storage tube. I just zip tie the other end that typically isn’t ever used.

I put my Sewer Hoses in a 5 Gal. Home Depot Pail. I use the pail after I use the waste hoses when they are connected to dump to fill up with water and dump it down the toilet to help keep the Black tank cleaned as possible.

I had two sections of the Valterra closable hose when I got my motorhome. In one spot the dump was on the rear passenger side of the motorhome; 30' away. After that I bought two more sections of the same hose. Not that I needed two, but, just incase one hose sprung a leak. Shortly afterwards the connector on the hose made a crack sound when I put it on and then started to drip when I did the test pull on the grey first. Glad I had the extra hose.

I have 2 of the 5inch PVC fence sleeves like your DIY one. I mounted them so they are about an inch from being flush with the camper sides to get the most length possible. To get below the gas line, I used a 1inch spacer to lower the tube to be flat from side to side and clear the gas line. If you add a piece of 4 inch vinyl gutter, you can create a long slide out tray to pull things out of your tube and it prevents anything from getting stuck stuck beyond your reach in the middle. We carry 35 or 45 feet of the RinoFLEX sewer hose just incase we need it to reach, or in the event one goes bad we have extra just in case.

To make it easier to climb under RV's I have plastic table cloths. With the table cloth I do not get stones sliding down my jeans as I slide under units. Also, if ground damp I stay dryer.

The caps of my bumper storage kept coming off. I know use removable sewer line caps. Because the end cap is round and bumper is square air can move through the corners.

[lisamcgrath]

This was a great DIY project Larry thanks for sharing!!!🤗

[brianbelliveau]

Good job Larry I have a tag along trailer so I put them in a plastic container and 20 foot hose in the bumper

[ADONAIsays-so]

Thanks for the vid Larry.
I like your custom slinky holder best.

[cbob]

Maybe throw a quick video edit in explaining your sewer hose traps when a closed black tank valve would do the same thing?

[johnfleming]

I guess that we have been lucky. We have RV'ed (trailer and class A) USA E-W & S-N & Canada / Alaska with only 20 ft sewer hose. (We carried 10 feet more in the tow car in Alaska, but didn't use it.)

[GregPrince-iocb]

Larry .... look into Mount-n-Lock RV accessories.... quality American manufactured and solid stuff for rear, front and underneath your RV.... Almost human proof

[ralphp]

Good DIY Larry !! I guess you must be feeling a little better? Extra stinky slinky pipes! 👍😬😁🇺🇸

[geraldsightler]

I use two of the smaller ones and just connect them together in a loop for storage in a bin. I flush them before storage and rense the outsides and connectors before storage. Think my MH is too low to add a storage tube.

[donm]

I have the same one but I can’t figure out how you used the clamps around the extra support bracket. I could glue the top portion but I like the idea of the clamps supporting around the whole tube.

[rickgriffith]

Another great lesson! Thanks Larry. I’m curious why you have the two pieces of 2X4 set apart in that one section of hose but the rest of the hose is laying flat on the ground. It seems like that might cause a back up in the dumping process. Asking for a newbie friend.😉👍🏼😎
