What I did to solve having to use a screwdriver to get the caps off the end of my 196 bumper was to drill a hole in the cap and put a circular screw in it. works great.

Thanks for the replies - I suspected the bumper was where it supposed to be stored - downgrade IMO. I'll be purchasing a tube and mounting like on my 179. Not interested in wrestling with end caps on the 4x4 bumper (needed a screw driver to pry it off) when all I had to do before was flip a lever and swing a door open. Besides, I need some projects right now :). Have a great day everyone.

The hollow bumper is where it goes. I keep my 15 foot hose, the 90 deg elbow, 45 deg clear adapter, and the endcaps in mine. I keep the 90 degree elbow on the hose always, and It has to line up just right, but it fits perfectly.

That's where I store mine on the 195; the 196 should have the same option.

We purchased a 5"x5" plastic fence post from Home Depot amd located it under the pod for sewage hose storage.   we also mounted a plastic box next to the fence post that holds the clear 90 degree connector. Vann

If the back bumper is 4"x4" with little covers on each end, the hose should fit inside for storage.

My 2015 179 had a tube under the tongue where you could store the sewer hose which worked nicely. I assumed that feature was factory installed when I purchased it new. I just realized my new 2020 196 doesn't have this feature. I looked everywhere and if there is another storage area specifically for the sewer hose, I can't find it.
Should I purchase a tube and install in under the tongue similar to my 179? I could also mount it on the to the top of the back bumper. Thanks for any suggestions you have - stay safe out there.
