Back in mid-2010, before leaving Campbell River, I saw a modification Croft<\/a> had made to his RV that made me drool.<\/p>\n

It only took two and a half years, but I now have a wonderfully practical and non-messy way to store my sewer hose!<\/p>\n

All it involves is attaching behind the rear bumper a length of rigid pipe with a wider diameter than the sewer pipe and then finding a way to secure the ends so the sewer hose won’t slip out.<\/p>\n

I bought a long length of pipe in Oliver and somewhere down the road, I cut it in two. I only really need the short end, so the other half has been in the way. No more!<\/p>\n

(When I’m on sewer hook ups, I slip the sewer hose into the pipe to protect the hose. I once had someone mow a lawn to close to my pipe, throw up a rock, and pierce the hose.)<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The pipe is held behind the bumper. There just happened to be a couple of unused bolt holes into which we were able to insert eye bolts for attaching the pipe with zip ties, so this was a super easy project.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"At<\/a>

At the far end, the pipe has two zip ties in a cross formation. At the user end, a removable bolt goes in one side and out the other where it is held by a whatchmacallit that kind of looks like a giant bobby pin.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"A<\/a>

A hole was drilled into the bolt to hold the whatchmacallit that goes into it to keep the bolt from falling out.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
