Mine is tarp strapped (will soon double strap it) to the frame rails under my Damon Intruder.
I modified the "open" end of the post (the "Closed" end I simply screwed the cap on with screws)
I then attached the cover with a hinge on the top... (Had to use a shim or two under the pipe end of the common butt hinge) The end is modified so there is a "Tab" on the bottom, this tab extends through a "Slot" on the end cap (i may re-do it so it's just under the end cap by cutting the end cap)
A barrel latch drops through a hole in the tab
To keep it open when inserting/removing hose
I open the compartment door above it and let it close on the opened cap. this holds the cap, and then I need to get into that compartment anyway.
