DIY Sewer Hose Storage Install - Event Date: 06 Sep 2015

Originally posted by mcclurey I want to attach a 5" square plastic fence post under my 179 that runs the width of the trailer for sewer hose storage. Has anyone done the same and most importantly how did you attach to the rv frame beams? I'm concerned about drilling any holes in beams to attach. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Rather than use a fence post, I used a sewer hose storage tube from Camping World. It was about $20 on sale.

To attach it, I simply used long zip ties. They weren't long enough to go all the way around the frame, so I snapped a couple together and then attached the tube to those with a third zip tie. It has worked perfectly well, and after many miles of driving, the zip ties have not budged. I might need to replace them several years from now, but I doubt it. I got them tight enough that they aren't moving much at all, and good zip ties are very strong. It took about 10 minutes.

Nice!
