I did the same thing as Stephen. I found the 5" PVC fence post and cap at a local big box home store.  I used right angle metal framing clips to attach it to the frame.  the passenger side cap is riveted shut and the driver side is bungeed.

the clear box next to the carrier is for the 45 degree clean out fitting.

Look at my mods and you will see what I did. I used the 5" square PVC fence post and strapped it up behind the steps with strap aluminum. You will see two. One holds the drain hose and the other holds a 6' folding step ladder. I use a piece of PVC drain gutter with a couple of bolts run through a piece of small PVC pipe on each end to both stiffen the pipe and to give me something to grab to slide it in and out.

Hey there, my pod came with black storage pipe, outside, up under the floor and frame. A lot like this one.  I added another one with square white  pvc. It is shown on another other Youtube page.

Are there any ideas out there for storing the drain hose?  It doesn't seem to want to stay compressed, is bound to be somewhat dirty, etc.
Be careful.
