The bumper is less than ideal for storing a sewer hose for two reasons. 1. The bumper tends to rust from the inside with the added moisture. 2. The rusty interior acts as "sandpaper" and rubs holes in the Stinky Slinky.
Here's what I did, copying an idea I found on this forum. Using a PVC fence post and two fence post caps purchased at the hardware store, two heavy duty bungee cords, and two nails, I made what you see here.

The end caps are held on with the two nails acting as pins in pre-drilled holes, seen here.

The U-bolts that hold my spare tire bracket on the bumper elevate the fence post just enough so the end caps don't get pinched against the bumper. The bottom and the back side of the post (facing the back of the trailer) have several 2 inch holes for drainage and ventilation.
