I ordered this one.http://www.dwincorp.com/products.php?product_id=125
A new product that adjusts to the desired frame width-mounting location.I believe we need around 62" rail to rail so this is an excellent deal compared to the regular Super-Tube! Free shipping promotion rite now!! Save Big! |

Well I installed the "Super Slider" today on Ginger.
Very,very nice product.4 self-tapper metal screws works great. It will hold the 15ft. Rhino hose,sewer adapter and 5" clear connector all inside! Highly recommended! |

OK, Gingerpod, just ordered the super slider based on your recommendation. Camping in a couple weeks. Looking forward to getting everything set up. Maybe our paths will cross since we are both in NC.
Happy Travels!

Cool deal fellow NC Podder. I mounted the Tube about 42" measuring from the front frame crossmember.That way access is possible on the curb side next to the steps if needed,the steps won't block access. I then mounted the short tube that came from the factory next to the new one with a hang down bracket I fabbed up since it doesn't reach the other frame rail.I keep a bag of gloves and a dedicated spray nozzle in that. I might even get one of those "pocket hoses" as seen on TV ,I bet it would fit in the short tube also. ![]() Be sure and order the one that 43" to 80"...plus $7.00 They look cool side by side since made by the same manufacturer. ![]() ![]() |

So how did you mount the short tube in the center? It almost looks like you screwed it into the tank from the photo, but I know you didn't do that!

Thanks for doing all of the measuring work for me! I also like the idea of the short tube beside it. I will be anxious to hear how you mounted it, mid-camper.
Thanks!

Well it is screwed into the trailer sub-floor using 1" screws the same way FR installs all their Adell clamps for wire looms etc. Kinda looks like a tank in the pic but,what your seeing is the black moisture barrier material. It is plywood so no problem there. I just made a simple "U" bracket out of "Strut" material....same stuff garage door tracks are hung from the ceiling with ![]() It is a 4" drop (width of frame rails)..so it looks like this.. ___ ___ I I I I I I I______ I Sorry I don't have a pic.I can post one tomorrow if you guys would like to look at it. The holes are already in the Strut and line up with the mounting holes in the Tube.Just slice one side and bend. |
