I am now storing our sewer hose and fittings in a large rectangular tub with a lid in the belly compartment. The tub seals pretty well so there is no odor but would like to move the hose under the trailer to free up some storage. It looks like either four inch or 5 inch PVC. What size did you use? I have found four inch at Home Depot and five inch fitting like caps at Lowes. Any information on length or how you mounted it would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I used the kit in the link below with 6" PVC. Plenty of room for hose and accessories. Secured it to the underside with angle iron to the frame. Amazon conduit carrier kit

5" vinyl post cover - 8' works perfectly for me.5" vinyl post caps to close it off.4" gutter inside of it.I haven't mounted them yet because they're just so dang perfectly fitting along either side of my B&W hitch and fit my truck bed.

Valterra makes different size sewer hose carriers. I believe Camping World sells them or you can get them through Amazon.http://www.amazon.com/Valterra-A04-0153-White-Hose-Carrier/dp/B0023UPPL4

So you either have to use a slip on style hose or move up to a bigger pipe. Next time I'll do as Spendydad did. It's the perfect setup.

I did this job 4 years ago. I bought 5" white pvc pipe and bored holes on what would be the bottom for drainage. I glued one end and bought a cap to slide over the pipe and bored holes to push an all thread though the cap and pipe with a clip on the end to keep it from working out. the clip was pushed though the hole bored in the all thread. The cap fit with out ficton so it might not be the correct side as if it was glued on. the holes bored on both sides of the pipes is on the big side so it would be easy to hit the other side and not fight it. I made a wood bracket that fit the radius of the pipe and flat on the top. A bolt though the frame of the alpenlite and though the wood and though the plastic pipe had kept it tight to the frame.chevman

Shadows4, here are a couple more pics of the cap. I cut about 2/3 of the witdth off the bottom, still snaps over the end.

This is a pic of what I was talking about in my earlier post. The tubing on top brings the post far enough down to clear my propane lines. I put them on both sides to keep them level.

I just notched the post to clear the gas line.

I have been looking for something like this to make a fishing rod holder.

Thanks

To get mine to clear the propane lines on my 5er, I used a piece of 1" square tubing on top of the posts to drop them down so they would clear the propane lines. You then need 7 !/2"-8"bolts to get through it all.

Well I was able to get mine done today! Thanks GoDucks10, I place mine in the back for now, as I need to make some good spacers off the frame so it will clear the gas line, OR move the gas line up into the frame.
I really like the idea that ALL the stinky stuff goes in the tube, stinky slinky (both lengths), the clear 45 degree elbow, and the 90 degree at the site.

Simple latch, dug out the pop rivet tool for this project.

Hey Russ,
Looks like you modified the post cap to fit using the hinges? Is that correct? If so, would you have a better pic of how you modded the cap?
I have already bought a fence post. We are going on a short trip down south New Years and thought I might get this done while we are gone. To cotton picking cold here to do it! Thanks, John

5" fence post here. Best mod. I put mine right next to the dump valve so everythings in the same area. I painted it with some of that plastic furniture paint. So far it's held up great. I thought black would blend in with all the other black trim on the 5'er.

Simple 3/4" X 1/8" steel strap to secure to frame.

Plus the 5" fence post has a lot of other storage possibilities.

Just want to say thanks for the idea's. I went with the 5"x5" fence PVC and mounted it on top of the rear bumper for now. It looks like it belongs there. I will look at mounting it underneath in front of the axles come next summer. There is just too much snow on the ground right now to be crawling under the FW. ;) Next project will be installing a rear view safety camera.

No holes in mine. I did drill some on the bottom for drainage.
