On our previous fifth wheel, we stored our sewer hose inside the rear bumper which kept it away from the other items that we had. When we bought our new Reflection RV by Grand Design, I noticed that it does not have a rear bumper. The storage compartment is kinda small and I'm not fond of storing the sewer hose along with our other items. I was wondering what other folks do who don't have a rear bumper, where do you store your sewer hose?

Mount a PVC tube, underneath, with screw on caps.

I got a sewer tube at CW and mounted underneath. I wish I had read the forum first. The cheaper options are either a pvc pipe with screw on caps or a 4” pvc fence post with caps. Much cheaper and works the same!

Here is what I did for mine. I made three of them. One for myself, and one for each my two sons who also have RV's.Got all the supplies at Lowe'sThe far end of the trough is open so it can be used as a hose support if needed.Barney

5" vinyl fence post mounted under holds mine.

I just bought a 2021 Grand Design Reflection 311BHS. It has a hitch receiver and no bumper. It came with a sewer hose tube already attached underneath just about at the mid point near the sewer discharge tube. Are you sure yours doesn't have one?

Man that's a beautiful job you did! I think I'm gonna do that for the second length of hose. I can't tell what the mats you used are though.

X2 or more, 5” not 4” with caps 8’ long holds two 10’ sections of hose and connection elbows.

Dump stations are filthy. I like having the hose and all its fittings in their own dedicated space outside any of the compartments. I don't want to set a bucket or tote on the ground around the dump station and then place it back into the basement. Everything fits in the fence post cover carrier.

I have the same built in sewer hose compartment on my rig from the factory. It's length and diameter would not accommodate much so I did the fence post cover storage underneath. I really like the retrofit of the factory compartment. I may consider that. As I get older it would be easier to access than the one underneath.

My issue is that the storage tubes only hold one section of hose. The sites that we typically get require 15' to 20' of hose. I can store one in the factory tube but the other becomes a PITA.

I have the OE tube that came on the fifth wheel, and I built the same as Barney's so I can haul two 15' , there is room in the OE to keep the splice fitting if needed to hook the two together. Everything is in the two tubes.

Rhinoflex hose would not fit in compartment.

Cut out door assembly and mounted fence post cover to it.

I had seen similar, but appears you hold the cap on same as I do, except I just drilled a small hole thru that bolt ,and put a clip thru it.

Beautiful work man! I did similar but not near as elaborate. One of my favorite mods.
