- A DIY solution for storing your RV sewer hose when the bumper just don't work.
Have an RV whose bumper won't fit your sewer hose? Don't want to store that sewer hose in the living space of the RV? This DIY solution may be for you.
Parts list:
- 5"x5"x8' PVC fence post
- 2 PVC fence post endcaps
- Black spray paint
- Self drilling screws (2)
- Springs (2)
- Bolts (4)
- Washers (8)
- Nylon nuts (4)
- Cotter pin/split pin (4)
- Aluminum angle iron (1 4' piece)
Size of bolts, nuts and washers may vary depending on your mounting location, so I have not provided their measurements here. Measure your install location before purchasing these items.
Pretty good idea. I use the standard rear bumper with a piece of plastic rain gutter shoved in, and then I run the hose into it. The two end pieces are stowed somewhere else.
Nice job man. Guess what..... I just did the same thing yesterday with the springs and I thought I was a genius. I was reminding my girlfriend all day. Well.... you beat me by a year. Well done.
Very good job/ideal. I watch many videos looking for sewer hoses ideas but yours was the best for me. I like it being in the back instead of underneath like most others. If something was to ever come loose while in transit I didn’t want to risk it coming in contact with my rear tires 🛞 that can cause a possible blow out? Don’t have to worry about that if it’s mounted on the rear bumper. Thanks for the suggestion.
The idea for the tray is brilliant!
As bmbubba84 mentioned; the use of the gutter is an excellent piece for ramping your hose to its discharge point. I’ve been doing this for years.
Nice video explanation
Great video… love the use of the pvc gutter
Clever. I’d slice myself to ribbons on that angle bracket support but I like this.
Great idea, thanks for the video.
Very cool modification! We have a Wolf Pup Limited 18TO and might try this on ours. Looking forward to more of your videos.
Thanks! Looking forward to getting out there and camping for the first time!
great idea
Great idea
Awesome idea, I have the fence post and the locking end already setup but I was planning on installing it under the frame, I like your idea of mounting to the rear bumper better. But please take the sharp corners off your brackets. I may also use some 3m exterior tape between the bumper and the post mounting.
Good video quality, great start in the RV video casting world. Keep up the good work.
Did you drill a hole on the end caps? to allow air flow to help dry/keep mold from growing.
Where did you get the tray from? That's brilliant and can double as a ramp to place on top of the expandable sewage hose support.
The tray is just pvc gutter
Great idea! I was going to drill into back bumper. I now think I might use your bracket concept. Can you give me the type and size of your nuts, bolts, washers (stainless steel?) and your brackets? Could have used a flat bracket instead of a 90 degree? Would it be a good idea to add some space between bumper and vinyl sleeve to prevent rusting? Apologize for so many questions - I am excited about your idea.
Hey sorry for the late reply on this! Unfortunately I don't recall the type of bolts. I purchased everything from Lowes after taking some measurements. The nuts are nylon locking nuts, those are key. The flat bracket could have worked, but the angle helps to give it some strength, the aluminum is pretty light overall.
I wouldn't worry about spacing between the bumper and vinyl.
