No Bumper -- Where do you store the sewage hose?
In our search for a used 5th wheel I have noticed a number of fifth wheels do not have the four-inch square bumper to store the sewer hose in. On these fifth wheels where do you store the sewage hose?

Go to a home center like Lowe's or Home Depot, buy a section of the plastic fence post that is about 5 inches square. Mount it under your 5th wheel and use the plastic end caps to cover each end. I put a hinge on the appropriate end used a plastic gutter cut to length that slides perfectly inside the fence post. This is better than a square bumper!!
My bumper was too small for the hose, so we did the same thing ^^^^ Works perfectly and easy to install.- Go to a home center like Lowe's or Home Depot, buy a section of the plastic fence post that is about 5 inches square.

- There is usually a compartment for sewer hose storage. Also the design on a fifth wheel provides a large storage area in the lower front behind the pin box, usually called the "basement". Plenty of room for anything you want to store in there.
