Here's some pictures of my sewer hose carrier. I used Igloo cooler hinges and strapped it to the rear frame using long stainless steel hose clamps :

Forgive my ignorance, but why not store it in the bumper??

But, even with my brand new TT bumper, and only driving about 45 minutes, my nice new Valterra EZ Coupler hose has gotten scratched up a little bit at the connectors. I think the plastic fence post option looks pretty good.
Yes, I know I can do a search and get lots of info on sewer hose carriers, but I was looking for tips on mounting one on my trailer that has an enlosed underbelly. The only exposed frame under the trailer is at the very outside edges, unless I put the bolts through the skin under the TT. Has anyone mounted one just above or just below the rear bumper?
My TT doesn't have a bumper and it has an enclosed underbelly so I found the first place to the rear of the axles where two bolts holding up the underbelly were directly across from each other and used a piece of flat iron to secure a mount using those bolts and then attached some angle iron with long bolts to secure my fence post hose carrier to it. Below are two pics that show my mount.

back when I was using a stinky slink, I slid a section of plastic gutter into my bumper to make sliding it in easier. Of course I would recommend you do yourself a big favor and get either a sewer solution or macerator pump.

Nice! Where did you get the Igloo hinges? Off of an old cooler, or were you able to buy them? Want is the metal eye hook on top of the carrier for (1st pic)?

Here is a place to get the hinges...
Igloo Hinges
I like that idea also, I am going to try and build one this weekend.

I bought the Igloo Surelock 95 Hinges (1 pair) model #9790 at my local Academy Sports store several years ago for $3.99.
The metal eye hook is used to keep the cover closed while in transit.

So the hook just slides through a hole in the post sleeve and the cover to keep it closed?

I screw it in.
I drilled a small pilot hole and then threaded the eyelet screw in the hole.
I made this set-up 5 years ago and it still works great.

Picture of my storage.
All thread with a 6" mending plate to hold it. Just drill two small holes on the outer edge of the frame and it works great.
