To answer your question, Yes. I got the caps at the same time I got the pipe.
I did some digging back in time and found these pics of our pop-up set-up. This was between 1999 and 2004 time frame. FYI, I still have that tube, and a second one I added to trailer #2 (10 feet long), that ran under the trailer front to back, not side to side, and carried sewer hose in it.
Removed from trailer #2 when we purchased trailer #3. You can see the green tube on the floor. Also, the 10 foot white one I used on trailer #2 as well for sewer hoses:
Here's the one I made for the sewer hose for trailer #2. I used 5 inch PVC here. The tray inside was a 4 inch (very thin PCV, cut in half length wise. This gave me 20 feet. I used the tray under the sewer hose on the ground so rocks wouldn't punch holes in the sewer hose. The tube was 10 feet long. I still have it too, stuck away in my utility shed at home. I'm hanging on to both of them, who knows if I'll use them again. But as soon as I depart with them, I'll want them back, I'm sure. So, maybe someday I'll put them back into service:
