- SamsonsworldExplorerI just slide it inside the sewer hose. Plenty of room.
;) - MagillaGorillaExplorerFor what tis worth:
I hate a dirty hose. Hate it. So I disconnect my hose and lay it flat on the ground. Then I take 2 rags (one in each hand) and I lift one end of the hose and slide a rag down it. As I coil the hose into a laundry basket, I keep whiping the hose with the rags. This not only cleans the hose but it also drains the hose. When I put the last of the hose away I screw the ends together. This hose basket goes into my basement storage and is ready for the next adventure. When I go to use it again it is clean and like brand new.
Also for what its worth the best rags for this job are old socks. The slide over your hands and work great. - richy2Explorer IIx2 for Handi hose. Nice and compact and no fighting unruly hoses.
- Landroamer1ExplorerDrilled a hole big enough for the screened washers to stick out of 2 garden hose threaded caps. Hose dries out and no critters get in .
- gazingm42ExplorerConnect the ends together. Place them in a bucket that has nothing but hoses etc...
- HermesExplorerAfter use, I drain, coil, attach the ends together and store in a storage locker.
- mr_snow1ExplorerI carry almost 100ft of water hose and 80ft of 30amp extension cord.. 35ft of the water hose (10ft & 25ft) are coiled up in a milk crate along with various hose fittings and connectors and carried in the front storage area. The remaining water hose and all the 30amp cord are carried coiled up in a couple 5 gallon buckets, a third 5gal. bucket carries our extra sewer hose and adapters..
- opnspacesNavigator IIII put pegboard up in my front pass through and I hang the hose and power cords from hooks. I also hang my awning tool, stabilizer wrench, and power tongue jack wrench, and a fireplace poker stick there. It was fairly simple I just used some screws that stuck out of the 1 x 2 pine and screwed into into the 2 x 2 wood that the trailer is framed with.


- SoundGuyExplorerAs I did with our previous trailer I moved the spare tire to our current trailer's front pass through storage compartment to improve gross tongue weight and keep the spare out of the elements. We don't often camp with on-site water but I do carry a couple of potable water hoses "just in case" and store them in the "well" of the spare tire, along with a couple of extra lengths of main service cable ... K.I.S.S. - no extra storage boxes necessary. :B
- RollandBExplorerIn a plastic tub. Coil it, screw the ends together and in the tub it goes. Filter is next after putting caps on its end, then the 50amp power cord. If I could hitch a forklift behind the trailer to lift it in the storage compartment life would be perfect....;)
