Are there any ideas out there for storing the drain hose? It doesn't seem to want to stay compressed, is bound to be somewhat dirty, etc. ------------- Be careful. |

Hey there, my pod came with black storage pipe, outside, up under the floor and frame. A lot like this one. I added another one with square white pvc. It is shown on another other Youtube page. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2etlCuL5Wo ------------- Happy Traveling, Tom 2017 172pod 2011 F150 STX |

Look at my mods and you will see what I did. I used the 5" square PVC fence post and strapped it up behind the steps with strap aluminum. You will see two. One holds the drain hose and the other holds a 6' folding step ladder. I use a piece of PVC drain gutter with a couple of bolts run through a piece of small PVC pipe on each end to both stiffen the pipe and to give me something to grab to slide it in and out. ------------- StephenH Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7712 - ouR escaPOD mods Former RPod 179 Current Cherokee Grey Wolf 24 JS |

I did the same thing as Stephen. I found the 5" PVC fence post and cap at a local big box home store. I used right angle metal framing clips to attach it to the frame. the passenger side cap is riveted shut and the driver side is bungeed. https://postimg.cc/MnCwLYyt">  the clear box next to the carrier is for the 45 degree clean out fitting.
