I am new to the R-Pod. I have a 176 w/ slide. Where do you store your black/grey water hose?  The storage tube provided under the tongue is not long enough (or wide enough for elbow).  I have a 15 ft hose.

Any suggestions on where to place a new container would be much appreciated!

The storage tube will hold a 10' hose. Anything longer has to be stored elsewhere. I keep a 10' hose in the tube and the fittings and a hose for flushing in a small storage container with a lid. That is stowed separately from a different container that holds my drinking water hose and fittings. On the 179, those get slid through the outside hatch to the storage area under the bed.

Some people have mounted the longer adjustable tubes elsewhere on the frame to hold longer hoses. How you solve the problem is to find out the best option that will work for you.

Optionally, the sewer hose can easily be cut.  That's what I did.  I stuffed as much as I could in the tube and cut off the rest.  Never yet needed any more.  I cut off 3 or 4 feet I guess.  The elbow fits in my tube.

Moe, would you be willing to share where you got that sewer hose carrier you mounted underneath your rpod?  I'm thinking of doing something similar.

Thanks, George

Thanks.  I found the cylindrical tube type hose carriers there, but not the square one posted by Moe.  I'll keep looking.
