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. ------------- 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 |

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. TT ------------- 2010 176 FJ Cruiser |

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 ------------- 2015 R-Pod 172 |

Thanks. I found the cylindrical tube type hose carriers there, but not the square one posted by Moe. I'll keep looking. ------------- 2015 R-Pod 172 |

Ohh, now I get it - plastic fence post. Found a similar design here: http://hulahutrvmods.blogspot.com/2012/01/pvc-storage-under-frame.html Very cool. ------------- 2015 R-Pod 172 |

Here's a good one. I had this mounted under the 177 in front of the entry step. http://www.dwincorp.com/products/125/NEW-SUPER-SLIDER-Adjustable-SUPER-TUBE - http://www.dwincorp.com/products/125/NEW-SUPER-SLIDER-Adjustable-SUPER-TUBE ------------- 2017 ATC 7X20 Custom Toy Hauler 2013 R-Pod 177 (SOLD) 2013 VW Touareg TDI |

We also used the 5" fence post and end cap from Home Depot. I used some "L" brackets and screwed it to the frame. I also used a clear plastic box with a snap lid that I attached to the fence post to carry the 45 degree back flush attachment. The fence post is large enough to hold the hose and the coupler and piece that fits into the cleanout. there are pictures in my mod page listed in my signature.
