Howdy,
We have a 42gal “blue boy” portable sewer tote from our previous camper. I don’t want to store it in the basement or on the ladder given other items we are carrying.

Besides using the ladder or the basement, has anyone come up with another location to store their portable sewer tote?

I’m think of building/installing a small rack immediately behind the front legs of the fifth wheel. The rack wouldn’t extended below the bottom of the upper/outer leg housing or beyond them horizontally. Anyone done this or like this?

Right now, I’m still in the brainstorming process so any and all suggestions are welcome.
Thank you,
Bob
 
Will it fit in the truck bed without being damaged by the pin box?
 
I used 5" PVC post covers for my sewer hoses, with caps. I used eave troughs to put the hoses in, and that way I can slide out what I need. And there's enough room to leave the connections on the hose. I mounted them to the frame underneath in the rear. Painted black and they work great. There are round ones but, IMO, they don't mount solidly enough to satisfy me. I've seen a number of them that only have the mounting feet left in place.

I think the OP was asking about the portable tanks, not the sewer hoses.
 
FT4NOW, no. The darn thing is too big…
Oh well, just a thought. Maybe the rack on the rear of the camper might be the best bet. Some people have installed an additional receiver welded to the frame for those rear racks to increase stability, I'd be OK with something like that if it was me.
 
A couple of things to consider - you could get a smaller tote and utilize your truck box. We have the 28 gallon Rhino and it works fine. We can go 5 days before we fill the tote and 11 days before we fill our black tank.

If your 303 came with a factory 2" hitch on the rear you could use this type of carrier . (I just quickly searched - there are all kinds out there)
