Don't these guys test or use their products in real life camping situations? Where do they think you are going to keep your hose? Under your pillow?

One good thing I can say about ours it has a builtin sewer hose storage, cant understand why they dont all have one.

I simply store mine coiled in a plastic bucket. The bucket fits into a corner of the basement near the toilet pipe where nothing else would go anyway.

Our trailer had the caps riveted in also. I removed the rivets and had to drill the holes in the top and bottom of the bumper for the caps to lock in place. That's where we store the hose now.

I went to my next door neighbour who is a construction contractor. He had just the right size PVC pipe which I mounted on my rear bumper with two brackets. He also had rubber caps that fit over the ends. I drilled a few holes in the bottom. No rust worries.

Wife and I are starting to load it and learn it. I'm trying to figure out the best way to store the sewer hose. I noticed some trialers have a storage area in the rear bumper. My rear bumper has caps that come off but pop riviets in the bumper prevent me from sliding anything inside it. I am considering just drilling out the pop rivets, what have others done for storage ?
Our Nu Wa has a storage compartment for it just under one of the front hatches, in fact the dump valves are in the same compartment so they can be locked away.
I've seen a number of RVs with the PCV pipe straped to the back bumper for storing it. Seems a cheap and easy solution a piece of pipe the right lenght and two end caps for it.
If not for that I'd likely use the fridge, or maybe not.

Store our's in a Rubbermaid container in my truck toolbox. I keep all the fittings and tank flusher there also. Two or three times a season, I fill it with water and a good amount of bleach to more or less sanitize the hose, hardware and container.

The first owner put all the sewer stuff in a Rubbermaid tub in the basement and I still have it there. On our previous 5er, I used .032 alum. gutter coil and boxed in a big area between the frame rails and the lower trailer skirt and put an access door in the skirt. That was the best - it was out of sight and didn't use up any basement area. I need to do that to this 5er. Craig
