I wouldn't call it "light duty". It is simply too short to be of much use.

I am so sorry to hear this happened to you! We just purchased our 2025 197 2 weeks ago and because of your post now know that our rhino tube will not fit which make me absolutely furious. Spending that amount of money they should atleast fix the problem for us. Or do it right the first time.

+1 the storage tube that came with our 179 was a joke. I mounted a full length tube to the back that would easily accommodate the added size of the heavy duty tubes. ]]> Fri, 10 Jan 2025 17:50:58 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16114&PID=154161#154161 tank drain hose storage : Agree with G.G above.

Agree with G.G above.  Purchased a 177 back in January 2011 and the storage tube was of sufficient size to hold our RhinoFlex hose.  Unfortunately on our last 30 day trip out west last September, someone had a great need to "borrow ours" (both the storage tube and the RhinoFlex hose) and not return it!  So, after an almost 14 year stint, we had to purchase new for both.

Back in the day of our RP179, there was this tiny storage tube. We replaced it with one big enough to hold our RhinoFlex hose. 

It might be better if they didn't supply anything in the first place.

Hi all,  I've searched the forum for info on this and haven't seen anything on it. If I'm the first then I'm even more angry! So, I'm Creating a new topic.

Regarding my problem: 
I bought a 2025 RP197 a week ago. It's my first RP. During my inspection I casually commented on the removable caps for the storage of the tank drain hose within the rear bumper pipe with no feedback from the dealer. After getting the unit home and trying to insert my RhinoFlex Hose that I have used for years in my Forest River Willdcat Maxx trailer, It would NOT FIT into the rear bumper. The inside diameter of the bumper is less than 4 inches. The twist-locking tabs on the fittings are too thick to slide in. Is this a new problem with the 2025 RP or is everyone already just so over complaining to Forest River about it they have given up?
