On our old TT which we had for 16 years I stored the sewer hose in the bumper.
Our current 5th wheel is almost 23 years old. I have always stored my sewer hose in the bumper. I drain the hose after I rinse it out and then slide it into the bumper. There is very little water left in the hose.
I have had no rust problems on the inside of either trailer bumper.
The hole in the bumper plug is for ventilation and to make it easier to get the plug loose.
I drill a hole in the top of the bumper down into the rubber bumper plug and then insert a screw into the hole; this helps keep the bumper plug in place. It prevents a long sewer hose from pushing the bumper plug out.
