Fence post under trailer question

I have seen some pretty nice covers that were made for the fence post approach. Many were fence post caps that were hinged, latched, etc. They looked pretty sharp but I don't know where they got the hardware for them.

I was thinking about doing the fence post sewer hose mod with the slide-out gutter. I currently keep the sewer hose and attachments in a tote in the outside storage. I don't like the idea of using the bumper, as it seems to get rusty and it's a tight fit. Worried about puncturing the slinky. The rinse hose also takes up a lot of room, so I was thinking about getting one of those coil hoses, which should fit in the fence post as well.

My question is in regards to the idea of having a second fence post for the fresh water hose and attachments as well, also using a coiled hose. I would use termination caps on both ends of the hose to keep the dust out, and rinse out the fence post regularly.

Any comments on this for or against? Would be nice to keep all my hoses out of storage to free up a lot of room.

I added two of the fence posts under our new trailer figured while I was doing one might as well do two.

I use one for Fishing rods reel and all put them in one from each side I am always ready to fish reel line and hook all set open cover and go.

The Hose I still store in the rear bumper very rarely use it I have a smaller ten foot in my store box with the fittings that I always use.

The other Fence post I really like your idea of the coiled hose storage I already use those coil hoses and they are great! I could also put the splitter and 90 degree elbow in there. Thanks for the idea!

On my previous trailer (Springdale), I did something similar to the fence post, but I used a 4 inch PVC pipe and drain covers like in a shower. I made the tube 10 feet long (trailers are 8 feet wide), and it fit perfect from the rear axle to the end of the camper. I used a combination of zip ties and later metal straps to attach it to the under carriage of the camper. When I got my new Outback, the underside was completely enclosed, so I never reattached the tube. I still have the tube in my garage, if I ever have to remove the cover from under the Outback, and see how the frame is put together, I may someday use it again. But for my Springdale it worked great. Here's the photos. I think they speak for themselves:

I cut this one in half long ways, which also doubled as a support for the hose when on the ground:
