If you have the square type bumper to store your hoses, and have the square plugs that are 'supposed' to keep the hoses from falling out going down the bumpy road .... here is a sure fire easy cheap fix:

Go buy two 3 inch long 10/32 screws and four nuts. Put 2 nuts on each screw all the way up (this is your handle).

Measure the width of the plastic plug, and drill a hole in the top of the bumper half-way the distance of the width of the plug from the end of the bumper in the center of the bumper. One hole. The hole should be just big enough in diameter to insert the screw. Insert the screw through the bumper and the square plastic plug.

It is now impossible for the hoses to fall out.

I sort of did the same except used a piece of coat hanger wire instead of a bolt. Just dropped it thru the bumper and cap and counted on gravity to hold it in place, it always stayed.
