You need to know that unless you have the trailer plugged into shore power at the storage unit. The batteries will be dead in a fews weeks. Even if you turn off the red handled power switch. The trailers always have drains on the batteries unless removed or you add a real disconnect switch.
So unless you have shore power, it is best to disconnect or remove the batteries before they are ruined.
The sewer hose storage I use is a plastic tub in a outer storage area. I also keep a large plastic bag filled with rubber gloves in it. I do keep a cheap sewer hose it the bumper as backup.
I said the first part since many come on here after getting their RVs out of storage and find the batteries are dead. Unlike any marine/boat battery on/off switches that do turn off all power, RVs are different in that regard.
