Large RV Storage Tube for Sewer Hoses plus more DIY (RV Living Full Time) 4K

RV Living Full Time has its challenges. When we were packing up to go on the road again after two months in quarantine lockdown in our hunker down spot (see video), we realized we needed storage for our extra sewer hoses. And we wanted more room in our RV basement in our Grand Design Solitude fifth wheel, so Larry did his DIY thing - with minor injuries haha

Make your own sewer hose storage tube that will hold even the largest sewer hose connectors and parts. Uses parts that you can get from any Lowes or Home Depot for about $30, using tools that you probably already have handy in your RV.

Anyone who has an RV, Van, Camper, Class A, Class B, Class C, Fifth Wheel, Travel Trailer, Schooly can use this mod to store their stinky, dirty Sewer hose. If you travel with a sewer hose you can use this MOD. Total Cost about $30 in parts from your local Lowes or Home Depot.

Why did we do this MOD?
We had to use 40 feet of sewer hose at the location that we were Hunkered down at for two months, but when we were ready to leave I didnt have a place to store the extra 20 feet of hose.

Our Grand Design 310KG came with an OEM storage tube make by D&W inc that could hold one 20 foot section of hose. We needed a place to store the dirty, stinky connectors and the extra hose. After searching on youtube, I came across a video by RV with Tito, where he used a 5" x 5" Vinyl fence post Tube to create his own DIY storage solution,

I could have installed another OEM tube like The Valterra EZ Hose or the SUPER TUBE from D&W inc.
but I wanted a solution that was larger that could hold a longer hose AND all the dirty connectors.
