Where do you folks store your sewer hoses and fittings? I've read a lot of folks use the bumper, but I'm not sure that I want to do that. Some say that it causes the bumper to rust from the inside and the fittings like elbows don't always fit inside either so they put them in a tote and store it in the storage bin. I've also seen some DIY and after market hose and fitting storage solutions. Do these work well and if so you folks have a favorite? I'm not crazy about the idea of putting the sewer hoses and fittings in a tote and storing them inside the storage bin with my lawn chairs and such. The odds are that my wife, also a Public Health Nurse would veto any such plans anyway, so need a good solution.
The Rino hose kits (Extreme $46 and Flex $41 on Amazon) seem very popular. Is the extreme really any better? I do like that it's crush-able. Does anyone use it?
As for modifications, I'm very handy. I can mig weld, do electrical, plumbing and carpentry. I don't plan on doing any mods until we've camped awhile and we know the trailer better. All that said I am planning to install a hard wired surge protector and maybe some sort of sewer hose/fittings storage solution.
I can't wait to tel my wife that our first camping trip might be in the back yard! Another funny but really good idea!
Wow, a lot of really great suggestions! I started a must have list.
