The Black water dump tube that is stock on our 2011 RP-172 is just to short, so I ordered the 15 foot Rhino from Camping world on sale for 31.99. Wont fit in the tube (which I knew before ordering) anyway I looked on the end of the stock tube and found www.dwincorp.com in Elkart Indiana, tx is 800-235-0829. They have a custom 60 inch tube with the brackets that fit the R-pod for $25.00 plus shipping, Lady by the name of Dawn was very helpful. I can't buy PCV, brackets, door ends etc for 25 bucks, Its in the mail and on the way. See Ya on the Road

That sounds like a real bargain.  The parts to make one would likely cost more than that.  Let us know what you think of it.

Ditto!  Making a PVC hose holder is on my to-do list and this sounds like an easier option.

And I was just about to buy the parts to make a new one since I broke the old the last time we dumped in November.

The Super-Tube looks great, but it says order 25.5" for R-Pod.  I wanted to replace my tube with a 36" tube to fit a full length hose. 25.5" doesn't seem much longer than the stock tube, which is way too short.   I'll have to take another look at the frame.

Recieved my new dump tube from dwincorp.com, it looks great, is 60 inches, the rhino tube and elbow all fit into the tube. It has a latching door on each end. The brackets are on each end near the doors, at a glance it looks like they are the proper distance to mount on the main frame rails near the outer edge of the pod, if this is so, I will probably move it back to the center of the pod so that the opening will be near the black water drain. why carry the tube from the front to the left side ? anyway when weather gets warmer I will measure and mount it. Happy Dumpin

It should fit fine. I bought one from Camping World and it fits underneath.
