Hello RPOD friends! We recently put our trailer on a spot right o nthe water and went to set up our grey water hose that was sold with our trailer. It is a blue flexible hose and does not connect to the trailer side or fit into the septic hole....what do other people use? And where can i get it as I live in petawawa ON and they lack a store.... ------------- Can't Wait for Camping adventures! |

The Rhino brand sewer hoses are very sturdy and good. I bought mine online years ago and have had no issues with it. ------------- https://calendar.google.com/calendar?cid=cnBvZC5zcG90dGVyQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ - RPod Rallies https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1W1foQXGtrjf8aYly1uh0b-bHPfI&hl=en_US - RPod Owner Map |

Camping world has a 64 inch hose carrier, capped at both ends for $37.00, I comes in black or white. I was going to look at fence posts, lowe's has 5 inch, seems way to big. Any suggestions? ------------- Ron Rowland |

The CW item will work. I prefer the SuperSlider unit: http://www.dwincorp.com/products/125/NEW-SUPER-SLIDER-Adjustable-SUPER-TUBE - http://www.dwincorp.com/products/125/NEW-SUPER-SLIDER-Adjustable-SUPER-TUBE It can be adjusted to exactly fit the mounting spot. Use the 43/80" version to ensure adequate overlap and install it crosswise under the trailer. ------------- Charlie Northern Colorado OLD: 2013 RP-172, 2010 Honda Pilot 3.5L 4WD PRESENT: 2014 Camplite 21RBS, 2013 Supercharged Tacoma 4L V6 4WD |

I'll it match the two mounting bracket holes already on the Rpod 178? I was thinking about dis-guarding the short hose carrier already there. ------------- Ron Rowland |

Do the end caps move? I need the Mounting brackets to move to fit my existing holes. My hose is 60 inches. The tube at camping world end caps do not move. ------------- Ron Rowland |

the " fence post works perfectly for storing the sewer hose. I also bought end caps that fit the post. I mounted it directly to the pod frame with angle brackets. the end caps are attached with small bungee cords. I drilled several small drainage holes in the bottom of the pvc post before mounting it. I also mounted a plastic food storage box on the side to hold the flush fitting. Vann   ------------- Vann & Laura 2015 RPod 179 https://postimg.cc/0zwKrfB9">

The SuperSlider end caps are fixed to the ends of the tube sections, but the two tube sections telescope to provide any length necessary. Mount the tube crosswise underneath the Pod. You can leave the original short tube where it is for small or short items. The SuperSlider is made by the same company thaa made the original tube and has the same hinged doors on the ends. ------------- Charlie Northern Colorado OLD: 2013 RP-172, 2010 Honda Pilot 3.5L 4WD PRESENT: 2014 Camplite 21RBS, 2013 Supercharged Tacoma 4L V6 4WD |

Good work. I have several options to look at. What was the total cost using the fence posts? Thanks ------------- Ron Rowland |

That is similar to what I have except I mounted mine on the toque between the batteries and the LP tanks. On the access end I used a piece of 1/4 inch plastic with a piano hinge on the bottom and a small hasp on the top. I can't loose the lid and if I really wanted to I could lock it. I use a spring loaded clip like a dog/calf leash to secure the hasp. Something else I did was to add a piece of cheap 5 inch plastic rain gutter inside to make a tray with a piece of round plastic tube for a handle on each end. I attached the tube handles with plastic zip ties. Have to make sure the bolts are off set to the sides so you can get the tray past them. (Think I used carriage bolts). If you hung the tube (post) from the bottom of the frame it wouldn't be a problem. The tray makes it easier to place the hose in the tray instead of trying to stuff the hose into a hole. Also if I'm somewhere that has full hook ups I can cut the zip ties and use the tray to hold the sewer hose in a gradual grade so the poop chute works properly. (Have only used full hook ups once for a short week in the three years we have had the Pod). ------------- Bruce & Donna in the Sno Pod (and Brewer too) 2011 RP 177 |

| The short hose holder seems too short even with a cut down hose. From your post, it sounds like there is nothing I am missing....just too short a design. |

On my R178, I used the camping world 62 inch sewer hose pipe and hung it to the frame using several large hose clamps to the 2x4 beam. It won't fall off'. Hardest part assumesas creating a space between the 2x4 beam and The bottom of the floor.. ------------- Ron Rowland |

In five years of camping I have only had one occasion where the hose that came with our pod wasn't satisfactory. That was the only time we camped with full hookups, and I had to move the pod mam few feet to dump. The rest of the times the hose has worked fine at the station. All in how you choose to camp.
