My daughter was getting a little warm in her bunk during our last camping trip, so I decided to put her a fan in to keep the air flowing. I had been wanting to add a 12-volt fan to the main livin...

I got my idea from C.B.'s post and added a few ideas of my own.
He used wood for the end stops. I didn't want something that was prone to rotting so I used a short piece of 1/2" PVC and two caps. I just made the pipe short enough that the screws on the outside clear the ends of the fence post cover going in and out. I also wanted mine to be hinged so I purchased two small hinges to attach to the top of the end cap. I put a 1" spacer between the fence post cover and the frame on the sealed end so that the excess water would run to that end then drilled 3 holes at teh bottom of the cap for it to drain out.
To attach it I purchased a piece of all thread and two mending plates, all available at your local Lowe's. I used 8 small washers and 8 lock nuts to hold it there.
Inventory list to build sewer hose storage:
1 - 4x4x100" Post Jacket cut to length
2 - End caps (located with the fence jacket)
1 - Raingo 10' white "U" shaped gutter cut to length
1 - 1/2" diameter piece of PVC
4 - 1/2" PVC end caps
2 - Brass hinges, something like this should work
1 - bag of Mini bungee cords
1 - 3' piece of 1/4" all thread (cut to length)
2 - 6" mending plates
8 - 1/4" washers
8 - Nylon thread lock nuts
For the 1" spacer at the low end I used a piece of a 1"x2" PVC baluster between the frame and the storage compartment.
