The non-slide models have a single sewer outlet. If you mount a tube sideways on the rail, you should drill several small holes on the bottom of the tube for drainage. Usually they come with holes but expect the mounting brakets to be "up". I only had 2 pics in my post showing the tube, the 2nd one shows it installed but it is rather dark so it may not be obvious at first glance. |

Ok. I wanted to mount mine as you did, but didn't think of the weather stripping. Thanks!

Sorry but don't have a camera so no pictures. I think that all the posts on this subject have some pics attached. Maybe only difference is most put the 60 inch tube cross ways on their pods which worked well for them. For me, on my pod is was better to mount it to the side of the frame as I described in my post. Only thing I didn't say is that prior to tightening down the mounting screws I glued a strip of foam weather striping along the side of the tube that would be up against the frame. I did this to give some cushion from the tube to the frame. It was just one inch wide by half inch foam weather stripping which I got at Lowes.
All in all it made a nice installation and looks nice. Rphelps |

Clicked on it, but it just shows the tubes on the ground. I was looking for pics of chiman's install.We are also looking to upgrade our tube also. The little five footer sewer hose wotks ok, but we want the 15' Rhino.

Click on the link in Techntrek's post. There's no need to repost the pictures if they are already on the forum. TT |

Thanks for the pictures Doug. It looks like you ran the grey water to the black outlet for one dump, or did your pod come that way? That's something I'd like to get around to.
Still amazed at the before and after of your roof! TT |

I did the same, I searched the name of the factory storage tube and was surprised that it was less than 35 bucks, slight modification and home made brackets mounted it perfectly.
