Bigfoot sewer hose storage

My recently acquired Bigfoot has a door on the drivers side that is label "SEWER HOSE". Haha, it's not deep enough for any usable length sewer hose. Inside the door it is maybe 6" diameter round and about 16" deep. It is sealed from the skirt area where the sewer dump valves are located. I store my sewer hose in the skirt void where the valves are. I got to looking at it and thought that round sealed up area really takes a lot of room from the skirt area. I was thinking maybe remove that sealed "tube" and just cut it off behind the mounting plate. I would gain maybe a grand total of 80 square inches of storage. lol
Your thoughts??
Oh, and....BigWig should be here Friday.

    We have a similar corrugated silver hose storage compartment that goes in under my tub in my Northstar. We use a garden hose for gray (cassette for black) so don't need the stinky slinky.
    I have thought about taking out the hose holder completely and making meaningful storage under there. I'd have to add a watertight seal to the door though.

    On my BF 9.6 two 1lb Coleman propane bottles fit perfectly in the built in sewer hose carrier. Nifty fit!
