I've got a sewer hose storage compartment built in the rear wall of my tc.Thing is, it is useless. It will only fit 10ft of hose, no fittings. What do you guys do? And does anyone make use of the sewer hose cubbyhole?

I remember seeing a thead where folks made and attached a pipe with a screw on cap that would fit the hose to the side overhang inside the turnbuckles between the TC and truck bed. another person made and attached a square box with a hinged locking end cap and mounted it in the same place.My 20' hose fits inside my Lance bumper comparment. i keep the 90* fitting in a zip lock bag in a rear outside compartment with my generator fuel.

My last MH had a pvc pipe attached to the bumper that stored the sewer hose. My current rig has a 'sewer hose storage' compartment that, like yours, is useless (I use it to store dog-poop bags) so I keep my sewer hose in a plastic bin in a rear compartment. I may devise a better place at some point.

Our old camper had no avail house storage so I took a 5" diameter PVC pipe section, shaved a little on hose fittings and it mounts between the bumper and floor of camper with end caps. I had to drill a couple holes in the lid to attach a pull handle but that also is used as added security to keep it in place. 8000 miles ands counting with it staying put. Not real purrty but fee and works.

My hose compartment leaves the hose doubled, so both open ends are at the door if anything drips out, and it sits on top of the blackwater tank. Works fine for a 20' hose. Makes sense to me. I have one of the PVC tubes attached to the wing on the drivers side, but I carry an outdoor rug in it.

Yes I use the sewer hose cubby on my Big Foot. Never needed a longer hose, just pull in close when dumping.

I used the 5" PVC post for a sewer carrier on our 5er - but when I saw your pictures, I also saw the perfect place to carry fishing rods!! Thanks!

As an aside - I enjoyed looking through your album, since I own the same pop-up. You've done some very nice work on your Bronco! Thank you for sharing!

What's a sewer hose? Oh ya, I guess with the convenient cassette toilet you don't have one.

We use two 5-gallon buckets with these easy spin on/off lids from Home Depot : http://www.homedepot.com/p/Leaktite-Screw-Top-Black-Lid-for-5-Gal-Pail-Pack-of-3-209299/203923741 .

We are fortunate enough to pull a utility trailer with plenty of room to carry our stuff and these two buckets. One bucket hold a hose and all its connectors and the other bucket holds one additional hose and the water hose we use to clean out the sewer hose with (we do not want to use the same hose that we use for drinking water).

If we did not have the trailer, I would use a front mount on the truck and one of those flat carriers. The lids will not come off in the wind.

The added benefit of these buckets is that they make good seats or tables if needed.

Here's my solution in the photo. The long black pipe under the left side overhang was constructed of PVC and I can easily put 20' of hose in it.

You are not alone thinking Lance shorted you on hose:
