Topic: White hose storage ideas?
Posted: 23 Jul 2020 at 11:59am

I purchased expanding hoses (50' ones) at walmart and use it for my fresh water connection and after it has shrunk up put the ends together and wind it up like an electrical cord (around your hand and elbow) then bungee it up and store it on top of the lp tank inside of the plastic lp housing...working well keeping water out of the storage area also store the water filter in the same spot.

What works best for me...3 snap shut bins one with the electrical, chocks, level blocks, bungees, and other trailer stuff. One for my tools/garage like items and the third a plastic bucket with a lid for my collapsable hose, filter, and other plumbing goodies, gloves etc. all three are secured in the back of the pickup. Drop the tailgate...boom there it all is waiting to jump into action. Only my sewer hose is stored under the pod in the tube provided

We roll up the potable water hose, connect it together and store in rear pass through with our power cord, blocks and jacks. For sanitary separation of Sewage hoses I found a modification on the forum to mount a 5x5 square PVC fence post sleeve ($30 @ lowes). The sleeve is mounted under the camper and used to store a Rhinoflex sewer hose. The plan uses a piece of Vinyl gutter as a drawer for easy access. This frees up the factory sewer hose storage for an expandable water hose and spray nozzle for rinsing. It works great, no sewer related items go inside the pod.

The following will prove that I have a serious OCD issue.

1. I attached a 5x5 plastic fence post (painted black) to the underside of my 179. I attached a cap on the curb side & made a removable cap on the street side.

2. I cut my white hose into 5 ft. long sections & installed male & female ends on each section.

3. The 5 ft. hose sections easily slide into the 4x4 fence post.

4. At the campsite I spray each hose end with hydrogen peroxide & connect however many sections that I need to reach from the Pod to the campsite hose bibb.

This way I don't have to deal with a curled up hose & I don't have excess hose laying around. I told you that I have OCD issues!!
