Joining multiple hose sections

We have a 15' hose (dealer supplied).
If we needed more to make the run, how do multiple hoses fit together??

Hose coupler

You can buy a hose coupler . It works great to connect 2 hoses together.

Take the male end of one hose and put it in female end of other hose, twist to lock...

^^^ that link is to a hose storage tube. Not what Audio1der is looking for.
I would suggest something like this so you can see when the tank is empty. This is the bayonet type. If your hose has this type of ends then this will work to connect 2 hoses.

The original post was about storage tubes and the above link pertains to that. I am going to try to line the rear bumper with some material to limit rubbing damage. maybe something as simple as gorilla tape on bottom and sides. That way the rust will be a non factor.

Bob Landry was asking for a link to the storage tube. Javi provided the link requested.

Bob,

Here are links to both of the Valterra storage tubes on Amazon.com. If you're a Prime member, shipping is free.

http://www.amazon.com/Valterra-A04-0...r+hose+storage

http://www.amazon.com/Valterra-A04-0...r+hose+storage

If you're not familiar with shopping at Amazon, at or near the bottom of the picture, there is a box you can click. It says something like, "10 new from" and gives a lower price than advertised. Clicking that link will take you to an Amazon webpage where all the "Amazon approved vendors" are listed. For example, on the $48 tube, there are links to buy it for as little as $40. Watch though, sometimes shipping makes it more expensive than buying from Amazon.

Hope this helps.

I made one from a 98 inch x 4 3/4 x 4 3/4 inch fence post. I used piece of gutter to slide inside of it. This way you can pull the hose out.
I used dowel rods for handles and to make two separate compartments. One compartment for the short hose and one compartment for the long hose.

This is what I have done as well. The hardest part was drilling the frame for mounting but really reduces the handling of the nasty stuff.

Thank you all for sharing all this info!
Last night I changed out my 4" drainage PVC for 5" square vinyl fence post and with a tiny bit of trimming on 4 edges even the connectors fit inside. I will hinge the other side and add the tray (gutter) next week.
First I have to install my battery disconnect switch so I can put flat aluminum bar around my 2nd battery with a padlock so no one walks away with it in the storage lot.
