Have You Done Any Mods?

I bought one of those larger diameter white PVC holders from Camping World. It doesn't really fit the pipes either tho it is a tad larger than the stock black one. You have to turn the fittings somewhat sideways. My thoughts have run to using one of those 5" fence posts ( I have one n the garage that was missing its end and connector fittings- so Lowes replaced the whole thing!) and cobbling together some sort of an end cap/door. Saw one on one of the forums, but that gent had used the PVC end fittings and made them fit the square post.

The first couple of times I took out my '11 RP171, I didn't use the sewerage system, only the grey water. When it cam to dump the tank, I was dismayed the flex hose was a whopping 5' long stretched out. No wonder it fit well in the tiny under-tongue hose storage tube. I went out and bought the RhinoFLEX 15' "World's Toughest" sewer hose with transparent elbow and locking rings and swivels. Great! Where do I stow it? I wasn't going to fit in the factory provided tub, it's 54" long. I modified a new storage tube from PVC in the rear just behind the grey water tank, drilled and used 2 #14 self-tapping hex screws into the bottom of the tube frame. Added end caps, and I went to put the hose home, and it wouldn't fit! 4" PVC is outside dimension, not inside. I had to go to 6" PVC and redo the exercise at a greater expense. ($60 for the 4", $94 for the 6" solution). Note the 6" PVC screw cap (clean-out) is $114 alone. I didn't but that one, just the friction fit caps and a drill hole & screw to keep it on. RhinoFLEX fits now, the white tube looks good hanging just under the frame ready for camping.

In addition to the list of mods already posted, I added a 110V AC outlet and a 12V outlet in the seat bottom (door side) by the dinnette. Wanted easy access to power from that side of the table without having to string cords accross the floor from the factory outlet in the other seat bottom.
