RV waste hose January 18, 2025, 11:38:06 am What is the maximum footage of a RV disposal hose area can hold? I didn't find any info in our LD manual about length. I think we have used a 15' length sometime in the past but memory is limited. Also looking at replacement hoses, I find there is a pre-attached elbow fitting on most of the brands. I don't think that part will fit into the storage area. Thank you for your time. Robin
Re: RV waste hose Reply #1 – January 18, 2025, 01:07:33 pm Hi Robin; Your floorplan will determine the storage area for you to store a hose. Many people add on underneath a longer tube that can store different hoses. The 'cheaper' and less durable hoses fold up more compactly. The better, thicker hoses that might sit out in sunlight, for a long duration stay at a campground, don't fold up as well. Those will take up more room, and are more likely to have the elbow at the end to direct contents into a 'full hookup' fitting in the ground. I use the provided compartment, (little door), the pronged fitting out, for a cheap hose that has no end fitting, for routine dumping. I added another door and a full width (7') tube underneath that accommodates a thicker hose with fitting, for hooking up at campgrounds. The storage compartment directly next to this hose holds an elbow fitting, (in a water tight Zip-Loc bag) that fits into the far end of the hose. It has stepped diameter threads to fit various campgrounds that require a gas tight screw-in fitting. (more vapor tight). Sometimes people have a 'spongy material' gasket, sort of a cork, that will fit around a bare hose end or an elbow, and seal in the ground fitting. The elbow allows a straight shot into the ground fitting so that there won't be an accumulation of material in the hose. One member here used a piece of vinyl fence post, thick wall and square, under his rig that would fit the elbow attached to the hose. A clever idea. I don't remember how he closed off the end, or whether he had to get under the coach to access the hose. A link to an earlier thread: New sewer hose RonB

Re: RV waste hose Reply #5 – January 18, 2025, 04:12:49 pm Thank you all for your responses. I will look at all options. So appreciate others solutions to hose solutions. Have a great day and weekend. Robin
Re: RV waste hose Reply #6 – January 18, 2025, 07:30:07 pm In our 99 MB, I used the fake spare tire compartment to hold my sewer hose. In our case, the inside of the cover had a thin layer of plywood that I attached a couple of hooks to so the hose could air out.George & Jo Ann2017 MB 1 Likes

The compartment above it is where I keep the fresh water stuff.
Re: RV waste hose Reply #8 – January 19, 2025, 10:14:43 am I removed the factory installed corrugated storage tube, as it didn’t work for my dump hoses, with the intent to add a larger storage tube near the rear bumper- haven’t got there yet. Right now, hose storage and dump supplies are in the exterior compartment under the house battery compartment on the drivers side. I find that a convenient location for dumping access. FW stuff is in a separate compartment.
Re: RV waste hose Reply #9 – January 19, 2025, 04:45:26 pm Like Greg, I had intended to make up a nice long pipe for mine but ended up just keeping them in a cutoff container which fits nicely in the narrow compartment on the driver's side at the end of the MB. It holds two ten foot lengths.jor
Re: RV waste hose Reply #10 – January 19, 2025, 09:04:49 pm In our 2002 Midbath, we slid a a 5 " pvc pipe thru the triangular metal behind the bumper... (is it called a skid plate?) and got caps to fit on the end. However, the chassis of our 2021 have just a bit smaller gap in the triangle, and the pvc pipe doesn't quite fit. Instead, we used this: RV Extendable Waste Hose Carrier Super Slider Storage Tube - RecProBecause it telescopes, we could fit each piece from the outside, and join in the middle. 5 Likes

Re: RV waste hose Reply #13 – January 20, 2025, 03:45:30 pm "...the metal part of the frame that prevents the rv from bottoming out."Yes indeed, those triangular protrusions under the rear end, commonly called 'skids', are intended to keep the rear bumper from dragging over a steep incline, such as a driveway. The 1st time you hear the sound they make will give you shiver's, but be aware they are saving your A*s" And they provide the perfect place to store a sewer hose or a fishing rod! 1 Likes
