Stinky Slinky: Where Do You Store Yours?

[ATCDave]

Hi All,

Noob question here: we're outfitting our new XLS 22MLE, expected to arrive this Spring.

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!

My Reflection came with the plastic hose carrier so I use that. My previous Rockwood didn't have that but had the back bumper storage like yours. I stored there for 11 years before I traded it in on the 297RSTS and never had an issue with the bumper rusting our. I think you are fine to use the bumper.

I store mine in a dedicated plastic (Rubbermaid IIRC) bin in the forward storage compartment. It holds three hose lengths and associated fittings.

My Rhino brand hose sections will not fit in the bumper due to the connection ends.

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

I didn't want to do that for two reasons.....I didn't want to use what limited space I have in the pass through.....and I want the hose to dry out. It worked great in that plastic hose carrier that Camping World sells....just tool some time to figure how and where to mount it... I looked at other options, but since I had the powered stabilizers installed, there was not any room to install this or anything else under the trailer. And like I mentioned, storage in the pass thru is not an option for me as this is the only outside storage available. I will try and take some pictures soon of what I did on our 22MLS

I store two lengths/sections of sewer hose in the bumper of my Imagine 2970RL. Fits perfectly. All fittings are in a plastic container in the pass through.

I use both the bumper ( with end caps) and a storage bin with accessories and an extra length.

Here is mine. One 8' piece of 5" vinyl fence post and inside of it, I bought a 10' piece of vinyl guttering and cut it down (length wise) to fit inside the fence post. The gutter piece also has an end cap on both ends of it and is long enough to hold two 10' pieces of the slinky hose. I cut it short enough that I also have room inside the fence post to put my clear 90 degree sewer connection in there too. I used plastic paint and made it black and mounted it under the trailer.....



An older picture from my previous trailer, but the same setup....


And one more....

Wow! I love it! What a great idea - a gutter to put the hose in (and keeps the tube from getting nasty) and a handy slide in/out in the carrier tube. You even have a locking latch and a bungee leash to keep from losing the cap. Nice!

No wasted storage space in the pass-through, and a great way to keep nasty stuff to itself.

I think I may have to copy this creative solution.
