Where do you store sewer parts?

[tinkeringtechie]

Hose carriers are fine for hoses. Where do you put all the "goodies" like elbows, connectors, flushers, gloves, etc...? With our previous camper we installed an extra battery box and put those parts in there. Anyone have a better solution? I'm reluctant to put them in the storage compartment because of potential odors and contamination.

[font size="3"][font face="arial"]Travis,

I mounted the 60" D&W SuperTube lengthwise along the left side where the original 2' sewer tube was. It holds the 15' Rhinoflex hose without its end caps plus the sewer pipe connector and a 45 degree clear elbow.  I moved the original carrier to the right side ahead of the step for shorter hoses etc. for the "blue tank". Box of gloves in the truck or storage compartment since they're clean. For now I carry an extra 10' Rhinoflex extension in the truck bed but may put another tube on the trailer someday. I specified a built in back flusher so don't need to store that.

[p]I bought a 60" tube and mounted it just behind the battery box above the frame. There was no room to remove the stock 36" and replace it, the stabilization jack would be in the way, so I left the old tube in place for no good reason at all.

No elbows needed - my hose is a semi-rigid deal kinda like those bendy straws we had as kids. Extend it and it stays extended. Bend it and it stays bent until you bend it back or collapse it again. 10'-er collapses to about 4'. Works a treat, as you don't have to worry about it acting the accordion and coming out of the dump station hole mid-operation. Got it at camperworld, but I don't see it online there.

I don't have a flush wand. I suppose I could store it in the old tube if I ever get one.

I have a small clear plastic bin in the port side passthrough, has a box of surgical gloves, a pair of clear safety goggles, and a pack of moist wipes just in case. This box is the last thing packed and is immediately available when pulling at the dump station at the end of a trip leaving the park.

Haven't had to deal with that yet, but a plastic or even metal ammo box would seem almost ideal. They seal well and are available in a variety of sizes to suit your needs.

It's interesting that two of you have mentioned the "stock" tube and both of them are different lengths. Our's didn't come with a tube at all. Is this a factory provided accessory, or did the dealer add it (like the battery box/propane tanks)? I ordered one of the 60" super-tubes and hopefully that will fit everything (they claim it does). The ammo can is an interesting idea, but I would still worry that I'd drip or touch it with contaminated gloves.

Funny I was just going to post on this very topic!  My 13QBB came with a small supertube but my Rhinoflex hose is to long to fit in it. According to the Supertube site I need the 60" supertube, problem is I don't have a 60" span to mount it underneath the frame anywhere.  The only place I can see to mount it is along the back bumper.  I'm not comfortable putting it under the bumper because it reduces ground clearance a bit more than I'd like, that leaves the top of the bumper.  I can't think of any reason other than looks that it shouldn't go there. Anyone have any thoughts on the matter?

Could you mount it under the tongue? That seems to be a pretty common location.

 [/quote][font size="3"][font face="arial"]I don't see any problem with mounting on the top of the bumper. May even give you some added protection when you back into the tree.  [/font][/font]

[font size="3"][font face="arial"]Mine is actually 26", similar to the one on the RPOD, and came standard from the factory. With no tube and no brake battery box maybe there's some field stripping going on at you dealer.

[/font][/font][/quote]There's no evidence that a tube was ever installed (unlike the battery box), so it may have just been left off. A 26" tube wouldn't be of much use though, as even my 10' hose is 32" collapsed.

[/p][/quote]This would work for dump stations, but if you're at a park with full hookups they'll want you to use a threaded elbow so that the odors don't escape.

If I mount it along the tongue I get the same clearance issue as if I mount it under the rear bumper.  The existing one is mounted on a cross member so it's higher. I suppose I could mount it behind the battery box.  The pictures explain my conundrum.

This photo shows where ours came with a fairly short storage tube, with I think a 10' hose inside:







CampingWorld had a 15' sewage hose on sale with an angle adapter, and I have one on the way. I will be looking to add a second tube so that 25' would be doable with both connected.

[font size="3"][font face="arial"]It's a bit hard to see in the photo, but is the hose tube mounted lengthwise ahead of the axles? The 60" SaniTube from D&W will fit between the axles and the stabilizer and will hold the 15' RhinoFlex hose, adapter, and a 45 degree clear elbow so you can see what's going on. I don't know what you ordered from CW or what came with your Campliite so I'm not sure they will mate. Check before you leave home.

Yes, its the black tube running lengthwise between the wheels and the hitch.

This is what I ordered:

I realize I may need an adapter to utilize the hose that came with the CampLite, or just buy a compatible one. I'll know more when it arrives.
