Tank hose holder used for storing a rug?

[AuthorSP]

Hi folks, somewhere along the line I saw how a gentleman said something like his Escape came with a 6" tube for the hose, but only needed a 4" tube. So he had installed a 4" tube for the hose and was using the 6" tube to store an outdoor rug instead. This sounds like a great idea, but I can't find the reference anymore.

Can anyone verify the size of the standard tube? Does a Rhino hose fit in a 4" tube? Will a second hose tube fit under a 5.0TA?
Thanks!

You can order a second sewer hose storage tube on your build. The inside diameter is 4-5/8" and it is big enough to stow a Rhino sewer hose with the end connectors / fittings, on my 5.0 I can fit two 10 foot Rhino hoses in the tube. I use the second tube to stow a folding ladder, but it could certainly carry a rolled up rug.

Here is info on the sewer hose tube from the manufacturer: https://dwincorp.com/product/super-tube/

Good info, thanks!
The ladder is a good idea. Maybe nice to get 3 of these...
I wonder how big a rug could be rolled up and still fit in there.

Sean,

Great idea!

We have 3 tubes under our 2017 21’. Two for sewer stuff and one for miscellaneous items like hiking poles and such.

David (davidmurphy02), I'm waiting on my new 21C, I'm looking into all of the goodies that I imaging... and you have a Folding Ladder ? post 7-21-2021, 6:50 PM.

What brand is it... and collapse like that?
Thank you

I am in a chemo treatment this afternoon but will get a link for you this evening when I get home. It came from Amazon, easy to find.

One note - I would have liked to get a 6 foot ladder but the tube was an inch or two too short so I had to go with the 5 footer. Had I known that I would have asked ETI if they could make the tube 73" long, plenty of room under the trailer for that

I wonder if there's any reason a second tube couldn't be installed on an E19?

I have one of these folding ladders. It is the six-foot model and sure enough it is a bit too long to fit in the six-foot bed of my Tacoma. I bought the ladder at a Camping World in June 2017; its list price was well over $100.

BTW- this ladder is quite a bit heavier than you would think. I wasn't that happy with it and replaced it with a four-step Gorilla ladder from Home Depot that I keep in my truck bed when traveling. It's tall enough so that I can reach the trailer roof, and I'm 5'8" tall.

Here's the 5 foot ladder on Amazon, also available in 6 foot: https://smile.amazon.com/GPLogistics...02PN8Y26&psc=1

Ck estate sales in one’s area. I got lucky and came across the 6 ft model for $15.00. Pick it up paid for n in to the truck before they could possibly change their minds on the price. Have also found many many camping item some still new at these estate sales
