So...
After reading about how some have made the PVC sewer hose holder to store their hose instead of in the bumper, I though it would be a good 2-3hr project on my day off. "bouncey: So off to Lowe's, bought the materials, then back home. Cut the pipe to length. Went to put on the cleanout adapter, oh no! Cant find my pvc glue. :confused: Lowe's is 20 miles away, I don't want to waste that much gas when I have other means available. So, instead of glueing it on, I figure I'll just bolt it together using machine screws and washers, nuts. Problem solved. Attach the cap to the pipe so it doesn't run off when I'm not looking. Take it out to mount on the RV. Decide I'll put the hoses in there just to ensure I got the length correct. OH NO! The attachments won't fit in the 4" pipe. :o
It was at that second that I remember reading another post that mentioned "hey knucklehead, if you're making a PVC holder, make sure to use 5 or 6" pipe cuz the fittings on the new hoses won't fit in a 4" pipe."
So close, yet FAIL. Ergo, Always A Bridesmaid, Never a Bride.
