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.

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

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/

The tube is adjustable!

have you noticed any sagging of the slider tube? a few reviewers on amazon mentioned the tube sagging. 
Thanks!

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!

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?
