Sewer hose storage again

I liked what others have done using the 5"x5" fence post so I decided to do it as well. Only thing I did differently was mount it in my pass thru storage area (typical under bed at the front of the trailer). Mounted it with L brackets to the ceiling of the storage are on an angle somewhat out of the way. Just wanted to share another mounting option. Thanks to others for the idea!

    I have been storing the hose in the same compartment for the last two years inside the box it came in and have not had any odor or wetness issues. I give it a good flush a few times with fresh water and then coil it up towards the campgrounds sewer pipe to push all the water out that way. I realize that some water must stay in the pipe but I have not noticed any issues because of it. Cardboard box is still solid and dry. Just wanted to mention an alternative.


    Well ... I would say that you have been very, very lucky and I doubt I could store my sewer hose in it's original box and keep the box dry. I just see no way to get all the water out of all the folds in the hose w/o hanging it up for some time with the ends pointed down.
