Hope to install the Super Slide Tube for sewer hose this weekend. Where do you all suggest I mount the tube? Also, what size self tapping screws should I use? Thanks!!

I mounted ours on the rear of our 179, almost like a bumper. I'll try to post pictures later.

I mounted my super slider tube on our 180 next to the fresh water tank. There is still enough space for my BAL Hide A Spare tire carrier.

The tube should be mounted crosswise under the Pod. Use #12 stainless steel hex head sheetmetal screws with SS washers. Predrill the holes and do not twist too hard. SS is brittle and can twist off and break.

We mounted our super slider on the rear of the frame, just behind the step. So far so good. Ours did not come with screws either. We pre-drilled, and used self drilling screws with washers. We used a 1/8" titanium drill bit for pilot holes. Good luck and happy camping!!

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?

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!
