I have the standard 4 x 4” rear bumper on my travel trailer. Trying to put in the rhino flex sewer hose with plastic adapter on the end is very difficult does anyone have an alternative way to carry this sewer hose rather than the bumper. Thanks for your input.

I use 5 inch vinyl fence post and a section of vinyl gutter which acts as a tray:

I use a PVC black drain field pipe under my RV. I use hose clamps for mounting it in place. I use a long nut and bolt on each end to keep it in place. The nut and bolt on the entry end is easily unscrewed to allow removing and returning the drain hose. All the parts are available at Lowes, Home Depot and local hardware stores.

I got a 4" piece of pvc about 6' long, put a cap on one end and a screw fitting on the other end and hose clamped it to the top of the rear bumper. Has worked great for me for over 20,000 miles of travelling. Replaced the hose clamps(screw type) once when they got a little rusty. Gary

I have a RhinoFlex and keep it in one of those round holders. However, the sewer connector end won't fit in there. Fortunately, it comes off leaving the 90 degree angle able to fit. I put the end in the propane tank cover on one of the propane tanks.

The RhinoFlex won't fit in one of the made-to-purpose under-frame tubes with the 90 deg. elbow attached, either. Like IAMICHABOD, I keep the main hose and other fittings in a large RubberMaid tub in the basement while on the road. I keep extensions in the two under-frame tubes that came on our rig.

Mine is always connected ready to go. It has a box covering the connection with a door for access. The box has a long tube attached in the rear for the hose to slide and go into which leaves room for fittings in the box.

I open the door, pull out the hose, attach the 90 degree fitting and dump the grey water last to rinse the hose.

When done the hose stays attached and slide the hose back into it's tube and close the watertight door.

I never need to connect nor disconnect the hose this way also eliminating the need to R and R the cap.

I keep all my Rhino sewer hoses,The 15 Foot and The 5 Foot extension and all fittings in a Rubbermaid Tote,this keeps them away from everything so it won't contaminate anything and it is stackable.

5" Fence post works best.

Camping world has a tube that goes under the trailer. I have one on mine, it is round with a cap, fits 2 sewer hoses connected together. I'm sure you can find it on their website.
