We mounted our super slider on the rear of the frame, just behind the step. So far so good. Ours did not come with screws either. We pre-drilled, and used self drilling screws with washers. We used a 1/8" titanium drill bit for pilot holes. Good luck and happy camping!!

The tube should be mounted crosswise under the Pod. Use #12 stainless steel hex head sheetmetal screws with SS washers. Predrill the holes and do not twist too hard. SS is brittle and can twist off and break.

I mounted my super slider tube on our 180 next to the fresh water tank. There is still enough space for my BAL Hide A Spare tire carrier.

I mounted ours on the rear of our 179, almost like a bumper. I'll try to post pictures later.

Hope to install the Super Slide Tube for sewer hose this weekend. Where do you all suggest I mount the tube? Also, what size self tapping screws should I use? Thanks!!
