Would this be too close to the wheel to mount some 4" square sewer hose storage pvc? Running along outside the frame between the rail and the wheel:

You have plenty of clearance, make sure you attach it well to the frame.  We mounted ours under and behind the propane tanks in the front of our 177.  Works well and is convenient.

I have a short one installed up there by the factory on our new 183G.
Not sure if one of the 10' sections of my Camco RhinoFlex kit that's coming from Amazon will fit in it. I need to measure its length when I go back to the storage facility. It's the length of the double battery tray on the tongue.

As far as mounting this section to the frame, is it ok to drill into the steel bars or would I want to mount to the upper section - I'm not sure what that material is without going and looking.

Any updates on this mod, looking at doing the same thing. Most likely going to go with the fence post and gutter mod to slide in and out. I have not been able to get out and look for good spots on the pod yet, but this is one option that I wanted to do.

One 10' section of hose will fit the short hose carrier that comes with the R-Pod. However, you will have to store any fittings separately. I have a small plastic box with lid in which I keep the 90 degree elbow for the sewage dump end, a 45 degree elbow that I use sometimes for the R-Pod end, and a 15' hose to use for black water tank flush. One place had a hose but did not have an end on the hose, so it was good to have my own.

I also am considering mounting a longer carrier, but am considering whether I could fit it where a back bumper would be if the R-Pod had one.

We used the 5" vinyl fence post  and mounted it to the frame. We went across the pod and behind the axle.  I also mounted a clear plastic box to the vinyl post to hold the 45 degree back flush fitting. The 5" post is large enough for a 15' rhino hose and the 90 degree fitting.  I tried to add the gutter for a slide out and it didn't work so well. the post by itself works fine. see the pictures of both of these in my mod page

I put the 64" Valterra holder crosswise on the frame, it holds the 10 foot Rhino hose, a clear staright extension, and the fittings, the factory tube under the A frame has a 5 foot Rhino extension, just in case...

I just ordered the 64" off Amazon. I'm hoping to fit my 20' hose in it, and the fittings will be stored elsewhere.

I just tumbled upon a chest size aluminum tool box for 40$ (SCORE!) so that will be mounted on tongue and now I am planning on mounting the sewer hose storage behind the box. This way its out of the way and looks clean, I'm not keen on the looks of the sewer hose storage or having it hanging beneath frame.
