This was one of my first mods on my 178.  I took the tube off, cut it in half and slid each end into a 5" vinyl fence post the right length. Mounted it under the camper to the frame using the mounting holes from the tube just in front of the drains.  Filled the gaps with foam and painted it all black.  Pretty easy and now my rhino fits in with all the fittings.  Didn't like it in storage areas anyway. Good luck and enjoy your pod.]]> Mon, 28 Mar 2016 10:59:37 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7583&PID=72100#72100 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7583&PID=71959#71959 Author: Capt Kidd

I solved this by going to
camping World an buying a longer tube. Had to make two plate for it to be able to bolt it in the same place but no big deal.]]> Sat, 26 Mar 2016 11:39:45 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7583&PID=71959#71959 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7583&PID=71958#71958 Author: Tars Tarkas

This is a great help forum.  One comment  is to buy a 5 inch fence post, 5 feet long.  Can't be to hard to install with end caps.  I bought my 15 foot hose from Amazon, have no clue how to return things to them.]]> Sat, 26 Mar 2016 08:26:11 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7583&PID=71944#71944 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7583&PID=71943#71943 Author: Patriot Dave

Unfortunately, the only length that will fit the storage tube is a 10 foot one. If you can return the 15 foot hose and get a 10 foot one instead, then you can use the holder. Otherwise, get a bin big enough to hold it yet small enough to slide in the storage area and put it there. You could also find the caps to fit the ends and seal it and let it ride that way I wouldn't want to just stuff it in without it being sealed up somehow.

Since the RPOD does not come with a sewer hose, I ordered a 15 foot rhino hose, it is too long for the storage tube under the LP tank, now, any suggestions? ]]> Fri, 25 Mar 2016 20:33:42 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7583&PID=71928#71928 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7583&PID=71373#71373 Author: techntrek
