When I first got my RV I did a trial run putting the hose in the bumper storage. It was a tight fit and did not go in easily. I also realized I did not want a wet, and not entirely clean, hose inside a metal bumper. I put an eyebolt up under the bumper on both sides of the camper. I tied a nylon parachute cord to one side and use a hook on the other. The hose hangs up under the bumper. It is quick and easy to put away. There is no rust or stink. The hose dries after each use. I found a lot of other uses for the storage in the bumper but that is a different story.
