ValterraA04-5094BK RV Adjustable EZ Hose Carrier with Lockable Door Cap, Black

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.

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

This is quite the space saver!!! Attached to the back of the camper and works great. Have to purchase some extra hardware, but so worth it. Telescoping feature is a must when trying to fit into spot. Durable and lightweight, caps are 1/4 turn for ease of access.

Easy to mount, I installed mine in 10 minutes. I placed it at 74" bracket to bracket, and it is very stable. I did not need the center brackets. But if someone was to go beyond 82", it will start to sag in the middle and you will need to use the center brackets. Most Toy Haulers do not have center supports. But Home Depot & Lowe's sells L-Channel & Straight stock 3/16 1.25'x50" steel struts that can be used for a strong center brace.- The lid is plastic and on a hinge. The hinge has a thin pin. In time it can break if it gets brittle by the sun or environment. If you can remember this and be easy on opening & closing, it will last.- One other mounting problem is clearance, This container is about 5". Most toy hauler have Gas Line running on the bottom side of framing. If you mount in an area of a gas line obstruction, you will need a 1" spacer to clear the obstruction. loosing 6" of travel clearance.- the container will hold 30ft of compressed sewer tubing and all the fitting. I like the idea of not having a smelly Poop tube in my stowage areaWell worth the cost. I recommend it.

Installed and it worked to a tee and now is now filled with our 3rd sewer hose, freeing up some space in the storage area.

Very sturdy and easy to install

Easy to install under RV with hardware supplied.

DELIVERY WAS JUST A DAY LATE, BUT IT DIDN'T MATTER, COST WAS GOOD, AND I WAS INSTALLING IT AND THERE IS A BULGE IN MY RV'S BELLY SO I HAD TO SEARCH FOR LONGER SCREWS AND SPACERS TO FIT IT IN, WELL, I WAS VERY PLEASED THAT I HAD SEVERAL TO COMPLETE THE JOB, AND I EVEN TOSSED EXTRAS IN MY TOOLS KEPT IN TRAILER JUST IN CASE IT POPS OUT ON THE OTHER SIDE. BUT IT DOES WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO AND ALL IS WELL!
