Mine has need on for a year now, and has been fine, I spot sprayer one small scatch so far.

I built one of these a year ago. And have it attached the the bumper. Today I built another on and use the hangers like the OP did. What a idea. I have a stick ladder that I'm putting I the second one. Also I used 1/4 inch instead of 3/8, Home Depot was out of the 3/8.

I camp in state and federal parks most of the time so I normally don't have full hookups so I am using it just as a drawer now. But, if I ever need to I could use it has a hose support.

It is a RhinoFLEX Swivel Sewer hose.

I have a 15foot RhinoFLEX plus the 5foot RhinoFLEX extension fit nicely in mine. I cut my fence post down to 7' to better fit under the camper, but the whole 8 foot post would of fit just fine if I had wanted to use it.

Not yet, but I am thinking I am going to drill a few.

I don't understand why they would make a RV with no place for a sewer hose on the outside, I guess the standard bumper does not work on a toy hauler.

I really have no idea how long the paint might last. I did buy paint designed to paint plastic so I hope that helps. I also sanded everything with 120 grit sandpaper just to give the paint something to bit into. I figured if nothing else I can hit it with some pint every year or two as needed.

Nice install, looks like you did a great job keeping the fence post slightly off the Chloroplast underbelly. My install was too tight up against the frame and it damaged the "Black Tank".

I did check under the chloroplast first to make sure I would be OK if I did install it tight (and I was) but I decided to leave space just in case. I also gave me a better way to clamp the post in place.

I fit two (folded) 15' Rhino hoses in mine; the fence post came in a 9' length, so you can choose how wide you like/need it. The two hoses fit snugly end to end in mine, so with a door at each end I can reach without a gutter/tray inside.

I guess my question is there a reason why you did this since the hose is stowed in the bumper? Is there an advantage to this modification?

No bumper on TH's. Have read where bumpers were rusting due to mositure from sewer hoses

Looks awesome.

I have already painted, drilled, and capped a fence post cover, it is still sitting in the garage and I will be mounting it in the next couple of weeks. I like that mounting hardware, much better then drilling the frame.

I also put a bolt through the center of it to stop the hose from sliding all the way through then will probably throw in my propane hose or something in the other side as the post cover is 8ft long and goes from one side to the other of the trailer.

Hey audio1der, where abouts in Airdrie are you? We are behind the Superstore off of Veterans.

Well my RhinoFLEX was a tight fit and the rough surface inside the bumper was rubbing on the hose bad. I didn't wave to have to replace the hose in a few years or get little leaks so I did this. It is also way easier to get the hose in and out the fence post as compared to the bumper.

I see, good idea.

[michol02]

Nice job

[Signguy71]

What are you using to keep the end caps on the fence post while going down the road?

Exactly why I did it, with a plus, ALL of your stinky parts fit in the 5" fence post!! No stinky stuff in the basement or storage compartment!!

I hinged my covers, and secure with a clip.

440justin, by chance are you an Electrician by trade??

[440justin]

Rhagfo I am actually a mechanical engineer at a consulting firm so I specify beam clamps all the time to support piping and ductwork.

Looked around for the better part of a week and finally found some clamps. just need for this weather to sort itself out and I can hang the PVC tube.......I drilled holes throughout the tube and covers to allow for drainage and stinkiness to leave.......

I finished building this over the weekend. It works great and was actually a fun project to do.

Thank you for all of the assistance in getting it done.

[Sivymp1]

I see you have one of those Rhino hoses. I bought one recently and found out it does not fit in the bumper and I instantly thought of this post. Think I have to build one of these.

Just ordered a Rhino hose on Amazon so looks like another Mod is in my future.
