The thing I find funny about storing sewer hoses in the bumper is that the bumper is there anyway and the TT manufacturers make it sound like it's some kinda fancy upgrade that adds a lot of value. I installed a Valterra hose carrier under the frame in a more convenient location and use the bumper for storing extra hose only for the rare time we need extra length. Storing a wet hose in the bumpers can end up rusting right through it. There isn't a spec of paint or coating inside ours. I wish they made them a tad larger so you don't have to cram them inside and sometimes have them get stuck.

Wow, I must be doing things all kinds of wrong. I've used the EZ lube feature (once) on my 11 year old trailer, but have put a ton of use on our outdoor shower. And the sewer hose lives in the bumper.
LOL.. On our first TT we never even considered putting the hose anywhere but the bumper. Did that for years. When we bought the 2017 model the service guy that gave us the walk around insisted that we not store hose in the bumper, so we don't..but, don't know why we don't.
