Stinky Slinky storage

I recently purchased a 2007 Forest River Lexington. It does not have a 5" square bumper for the Stinky Slinky. The small compartment will not accommodate my hose.
I have seen other that have affixed a section of white PVC pipe to their rear bumper.
I would like to do the same.

Can anyone give me ideas for attaching the pipe to the rear bumper?

Thanks in advance.

    I carry my slinky and all the attachments and accessories in a Rubbermaid plastic bin with snap on lid. I carry the bin in the bed of my truck.

    Whatever you do, don't carry it in your square tube bumper. It will rust out the thin sheet metal these bumpers are constructed from.

    Our square bumper is made of aluminum.

    Quite true. Some are.
  • I have two of the 5" vinyl fence posts mounted underneath to the frame.
    One has metal straps the other has zip ties.

    Best storage yet!
