Ok, my sewer hose has a new home. No pictures, as it was a busy mod morning.

I got the 5x5 post and it's plenty large for my hoses. I drilled small holes and used hitch pin clips since I had limited time. I used that metal strip tape with the holes in it and strapped it across my frame just to the rear of my dump valves. I used existing bolts that hold up the coroplast.

The one thing I learned is that I cut my post a little short. 1) Life is easier if the ends extend past the mount points by a few inches. 2) My 15' Rhino and 5' Extension needed some cramming to get the ends to close.

I will be getting our TT out of storage next weekend. You guys are making this mod way too easy for me.

I think I saw others had drilled drain holes along the bottom. Is this a good idea to do?

I drilled about 10 1/4" holes along the edges at both sides of the bottom. Some other's simply mounted theirs on an angle so it drains when you open the door or out the other end, depending on the angle. I'd suggest some type of way to get water out, either holes along the bottom or installing on an angle.

Hard right and left turns should do the job. Especially those 270° freeway ramps. I figure what little there is will run out the ends.

Cannot wait to get the TT out of storage and do this. I have been struggling with what to do with my hoses. This is perfect.

I need to double-check my storage location, but someone at ModMyRV said that mounting the fence post laterally across the middle of their black tank caused it to crack due to rubbing.

Has anybody heard of this issue?

Hello f6bits,

That was my post I did way back in 2010. I was wondering if that would ever catch someone attention. It was bad when it happen and I hope it never happens to any other RV'er out there!

I just read on this particular thread that "cabinfever" also did this modification and was so happy with it but I also quoted on it.
