    We store our main one in the bumper and a spare one in a dedicated plastic container in the truck bed.

This was done the same way on the other side of the trailer (curbside that you cannot see). So the fence tube rests on the top of that angle on both sides. The I used some metal strapping like you use to make pipe hangers and bolted that to the angle, then up, over, and down to the other side of the fence post, then bolted it on that side too.....same exact procedure on the curbside of the trailer. To me, it would be more secure sitting on top of a bracket (aluminum angle) and bolted/strapped down, than to be hanging from strapping that would be bolted to the bottom of the trailer. Hope that helps.

    And if you also look closely, the bottom of the fence tube is higher up than say the axle tubes, so there should be no danger of it hitting anything or making contact with anything.
    Ah, I see. Very convenient to have that leveling post right in the right spot. It looks great tucked up there. Definitely higher that the black/gray tank drain.
    Pretty sure my trailer will be similar to that frame rail set up. I should be able to attach the fence post with some bracketry that will work OK.

    Again, nice job and thanks for the idea!

    Another way to mount the fence posts is with beam clamps (Lowes sells them). You can search the forum for beam clamps and/or fence posts to see other pictures.

    This is how I mounted ours.

    Thanks Dave....I got that plan from others who have done the same thing, I just had to make a good way to mount it on my trailer.

    Just a word of caution when using beam clamps. I've used them for years and sometimes they have a tendency to work loose. Maybe use LockTite or a jamb nut when you install them.

    FWIW, I did some internet snooping and found this hose storage project on another brand's RV forum.

    It fleshes out the process a bit with pics and descriptions - including xrated's above mentioned use of beam clamps.

    Can't wait to get the trailer and put this mod together.

    Where do you store your sewer hoses? I've seen these plastic sewer storage tubes that would mount on the frame rails under the trailer. Anybody used them?

    I'm a little leery about storing a wet hose inside the back bumper; wouldn't that eventually promote it rusting from the inside out? Thanks for the help!

    I use the plastic storage tube you are referring to. I mounted it close to the dump valve for convenience.

    I purchased one of the Sewer Hose Holders from Camping World. Since I have powered stabilizers installed, i was not able to install it under the Trailer. Instead, I installed it on top of the trailer tongue, behind an aluminum battery box that I installed. I took some aluminum angle and cut them so as to fit the trailer frame. I drilled and tapped two 1/4-20 holes on each side of the tongue and bolted the angle to frame and the hose carrier to the angles. Worked out great. Additionally, I am only using one Battery, so there was room in the box to store the sewer connection fittings and the slinky that supports the hose. As another note, Since I store my trailer in a storage lot, I mounted a solar charger and controller on the lid of the battery box and made a plug so the I can directly connect the batter to it when its in storage. So, when I pick it up...the battery is fulling charged. It was a pain before to have to take the battery out and bring it home to keep it charged.

    Reflection came with a long PVC like tube and the end cap locks. Holds 20' of hose. No issues.

    I have an external tank we use when full hookup isn't available or is pricey. That is hung from the ladder and on the side of the ladder is a PVC tube for fittings and the 5' hose.

    We store ours just like @Capt Bob states. In a dedicated Rubbermaid tote
