Kinda like that

That's what I did, but left the post and caps white. Also, I like the hinged design.

Sorry I don't have any photos of it, but I used the same fence post, but mounted it along the frame rail under where the convenience center is. Caulked one end on and used a small bungee cord through holes to secure the back one. Didn't put a pull out drawer in it, but did drill some drain holes. We tried it out during a week long trip last month and it worked very well.

those clamps are a god sent when i was a plant engineer. Word of advice with them. In high vibration areas they would work loose, so we used lock-tight on the clamping bolt.

I'd advise the same.

Here is what I did today in installing my sewer hose storage. It is not as nice as others but holds well and I only cost $42 total investment. I ran the plumbing strap up and over a cross beam them around the post. Then I screwed the strap to a beam. It is pretty solid and should travel just fine.

I love when I run into "camping geeks" like myself. At the dump station on our way out this past weekend, the fellow next to me noticed and admired the fence post hose holder. We got talking, I gave the forum credit for the idea. Talked about LEDs, stabilizers, ah, I only wish we'd camped side by side.
Even with a fairly short fence post, I can fit 2x 15' Rhino hoses, a 90* elbow, a clear elbow and a Rhino dump hole adaptor. LOVE this mod; thanks again!

Might seem like an odd question.....but where can I buy some of the spring loaded toggle latches that are used to close up the ends?

Amazon has some (as does eBay) but I'd rather not wait (upcoming trip). I was hoping Menards or Lowes would have them but no luck so far.

Have you tried ACE or TrueValue hardware? They are hanging on the shelf in our local TV hardware store.

Thanks John, I shall give that a try.....

Not sure where you're at in Michigan, but coincidently I'm camping near Marquette, so your local TV hardware store might also be temporarily my local TV hardware store.

We do a lot of camping in the Crystal Falls/Republic/Negaunee area, Tourist Park in Marquette is almost a "second home" as it's the designated dumping campground after our 5 day bass fishing trips to some of the "no facilities" lakes around the area.

We are located between Gaylord and Alpena, so your TV is not ours, at least not this week. In the next couple of weeks, we'll be stalking bass on a "hardly fished" lake in the UP again

I completed installing the 8' fence post and drawer and I could only get a 15' and 10' Viper sewer hose in there I was surprised to see you stated you got all that stuff in yours?? I do not think you could stack hoses in the fence?? Not familiar with the size of the Rhino hoses. What is your secret or what am I missing??

How much stuff were others able to store in their 8' fence?

Thinking about adding a second fence post for the rest of the sewer stuff

I am not familiar with Viper hoses...
Rhino hoses collapse and stay collapsed. Each 15' hose is only about 3' long when collapsed.

Is the Viper hose collapsible? If so you may need to remove one of the end caps to let it collapse down.

My 10 ft Rhino extension is 39 inches long when collapsed. Can't measure my 15 footer 'cause its in use.

Edit: Went out and checked.....my 15 ft Rhino folds up to about 56 inches. Not much chance of 2 of them fitting in an 8 ft space.

Thanks for the responses. Here is a link to Viper sewer hose and yes they are collapsible.
http://www.campingworld.com/shopping...e-kit-15/56712

pjhansman; looks like your Rhino 15' and 10' would only fit in the 96" (56"+39") like my situation with my 15' and 10' Viper sewer hoses. I have about an inch to spare. Still have two 3' or 4' sections used with the BLUE BOY Tank Wagon and a straight clear section, adjustable elbow, and CS sewer adapters that I need to store somewhere. May install a second one near the rear stabilizers and right under the pumping station fuel gauge to store this stuff.

I used 1/8" x1/8" rivets on the hinges and latch. Seems to be good.

Looks great! Did you drill any drain holes in the guttering so any residual water from the hose would leak out? Or have you had any problems with residual water from the hose? Sorry should have looked at all the posts. But now I have the parts list and can get it done. Thanks for the pics
