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!! ------------- 2019 Coachman RBS192 2014 178 (sold) 2018 Silverado 1500 4X4 |

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

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. E&M 2017 180 HRE 2011 Ram Dakota V6 Arizona

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.

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 http://www.lowes.com/pd/The-Hillman-Group-30-Count-12-x-1-in-Zinc-Plated-Self-Drilling-Interior-Exterior-Sheet-Metal-Screws/3036244 - self drilling screws with washers . We used a 1/8" titanium drill bit for pilot holes. Good luck and happy camping!! ------------- Josh + Jen • http://www.whoa-babe.blogspot.com - Whoa Babe Mods Blog → 2015 Chevy Silverado → 2016 {new to us} 179 |

Can the supertube be mounted directly into the deck and not the frame? In the same picture above I want to mount the tube essentially outside the frame from front to back. I bought 2 of the tubes one for the sewer hose and one for fishing rods. So can I screw into the floor or do I have to run bolts all the way through?

What length tube did y'all get. I have a 2017 179 if it makes any difference. I'd prefer to mount it toward the rear of the frame if at all possible. Thanks! ------------- Big Cat 2017 179 |

have you noticed any sagging of the slider tube? a few reviewers on amazon mentioned the tube sagging. Thanks! ------------- Big Cat 2017 179 |

We haven't yet- but it has only been a few months. I didn't see that the tube was even offered on amazon. We bought ours directly from DWinc. http://www.dwincorp.com/product/super-slider-adjustable-super-tube/ - http://www.dwincorp.com/product/super-slider-adjustable-super-tube/
The tube is adjustable! ------------- Josh + Jen • http://www.whoa-babe.blogspot.com - Whoa Babe Mods Blog → 2015 Chevy Silverado → 2016 {new to us} 179 |

| I'm pretty sure I bought the shortest one. It just fits the entire RhinoFLEX 15' kit. |

Buy the longer 53/100 inch tube. The overlap will prevent sag. Mount it crosswise and attach to the frame members with #12 or #14 stainless steel hex head sheet metal screws. The 15' Rhinoflex hose and fittings fit comfortably.

I mounted mine next to the grey water discharge towards the rear. Next to that, just before the trailer hitch, I mounted the spare tire carrier to make space for the bike carrier. ------------- ALICE |
