Valterra A04-5094BK RV Adjustable EZ Hose Carrier with Lockable Door Cap, Black

Easy to install and works great

My toy hauler had no spot to store my sewer hose and I don’t like putting it in the storage compartment so I mounted this on the tongue of the trailer close to the body and it works very well. This is a great product and I would recommend it for others

Installed right next to my sewer connection. Easy and convenient to store my hose.

I found a good place to install.Fit the hose and fittings very nicely. Although I don’t have the large elbows with water clean out. Those won’t fit.Works for me.

Excellent external storage for sewer hose. Easy installation and is tucked up against frame.

Because your sewer hose deserves better than being crammed into a bin like a shameful garden snake. This bad boy keeps your hose tucked away like it's in witness protection — adjustable, lockable, and way more dignified than your last setup.No more awkward hose encounters. No more stinky surprises. Just sleek, secure sewer storage like a boss.Verdict: It's the luxury condo your RV hose never knew it needed.

I just got it installed under our 1987 vintage motor home. I decided to mount it front to back rather than side to side. That way I could get more length out of it, while accessing it easy from inside the sewer and water compartment. It was relatively easy to install by myself once I saw where everything was going to mount. I drilled holes and used my own screws due to the more delicate nature of the metal/wood storage compartments I was mounting to. For that reason I can't say how the included self-tapping screws work on a frame.Now as for usefulness, I think I'll love using this thing. For one thing, I'm basically freeing up a good chunk of storage in the bin that I can use for other things. For another, the stinky slinky is now easy to access right from where I'm already working in the sewer compartment - without having to pull a tote out of the bin. It looks great too, and I think it'll last a long time.Keep in mind that it's just for the hose, not for accessories. I did find that the elbow at the hose end fits in there, along with the removed sewer hole connector piece (inserted separately before closing the lid). I'll still have to use a small storage tote to keep some of the other accessories in the bin, but that's not a big deal. I'm happy with the purchase, and my wife is happy to free up the extra storage.Special thanks to my Luna the cat for supervising the project. :-D

UPDATE:After several trips and using this thing, I'm updating to 5 stars and have even ordered a second one. In fact, this is one of the top 3 accessories I've purchased for my trailer. It makes waste hose storage extremely convenient and is probably the most sanitary option. The reason I purchase this is because I had to buy two 10' extension hoses. A single tube will not a 15' tube AND a 10' tube. I believe though, that it should hold two 10' extensions if completely collapsed.One More Note: When storing your hose, extend it, then start feeding it in the tube so that it hangs out.....then collapse the hose until it fits snug, end to end inside the tube. This makes it easier to reach and pull out next time and keep it from sliding back and forth, building momentum and possibly blowing out the doors at the end.ORIGINAL:The rear bumper on my new travel trailer isn't big enough to hold a waste line, so I started looking at DIY options. The only option I could find was using 5" square PVC fence posts, and engineering a hinge and cap system. It's not hard, but after pricing out the parts needed (and still having to figure out how to mount it), I was over $60 in materials. This adjustable tube required no extra fabricating, other than some self-tapping metal screws. The fact that it's adjustable makes this thing worth every penny. I mounted it under my trailer, just to the rear of my tank drains and it fits perfect, it easily holds the hose and extra coupler.Installation notes: have someone with you to hold the thing. I did this solo and it's a pain. I did one half at a time, and I really should have used some boards as a support system or something to hold up the end in the middle of the trailer. I mount directly to the I-beam frames and used self-tapping screws (it should just come with those). I should have used washers but didn't have any with me. Even with a good Milwaukee drill, driving the screws through the frame was difficult, especially, working "up" instead of down. I actually dulled a screw on each hole and then finished with a fresh, sharp screw to push it all the way through. START THE FIRST, WITHOUT THE TUBE. I made this mistake the first two screws and nearly ate all the plastic out from around the screw hole. It's not heavy duty PVC and the sides of the screws will rip that plastic up if (and when) that screw slips on you. Get a pilot hole started, then mount the tube and finish, to avoid destroying the plastic mounting bracket.There was no way for me to mount a bracket in the middle....one I would have needed to jack up the trailer and two, there's not center beam for me to get to. I still feel confident this won't fail, but plan to check it between every trip to ensure the brackets aren't ripping out.....that's the spot where this will fail if it does. I'm fine with the tube being thin and light, but wish the mounting brackets were reinforced...even with maybe metal linings or something. I think the closer to the wheels you mount this, the better, to minimize the bounce and shock that would eventually cause the bracket to fail (again....use washers....that will help spread the pressure out).The door latches are also fairly flimsy. They're held in place by friction and the pressure of the spring hinge on the doors. I don't trust that these won't pop open in transit, so I'll be placing small locks on each door for that, as well as theft reasons.Other than those minor things (reason for 4 stars, not 5), this thing is perfect and cheaper than the DIY options you'll find on Pinterest, etc. I'd highly recommend it for any camper/RV.
