This was one of the best mod's I made. Thanks to Butterfly Lee, it was a lot easier than It would have been with trial and error.

Yes, they are normally with the posts (there a piece to glue to the post then the cap fits snugly), then you just drill a hole for a handle and to secure. I don't think they sold well in the South, because my Lowes doesn't stock them anymore, but you can still order them. Lee

Great idea, thanks. BTW, what did you use for "end caps" to close off the 6"x6" posts? are there things made that can be attached to the posts for that purpose?

Why is it all these sewer holder mods (and other Pod mods) that us "amateurs" have come up with are better than the original Forest River factory design? Don't they hire professionals to do these designs? Maybe they should hire some amateurs (that actually use these campers)!

OH that's easy...Someone posted directions and I was able to follow.
A woman with instructions is a dangerous thing!
The round PVC they sell for the sewer hose is 4" round so that means none of the fancier attachments will fit. If you go to 6" Round PVC is a heavier (thicker wall) and ME_OF_LITTLE_SKILL would have had a hard time attaching (I was looking around when this design came out). They are 6" Vinyl Fence Posts that are really light weight and easy to cut to size.
I also kept the extra cutter and use it to hold the sewer line at an angle. I use the front two for sewer hoses, spray cans etc. The back to have the poles for the r-dome, tent stakes, umbrella pole, extension cord for outside lights, clips and such for outside area. I haven't figure the actual storage area, but this is what I have. 6"x 6" X 80", is a lot of room and makes setup and take down easier for me, I have mine set so they can slide out either direction.
Hope this answers your question.

============================= Great mod - - just curious though ...why you went with a square drain hose holder rather than a round piece of PVC ? Thanks, Mark J |

Great Job, I actually was thinking of a 6 inch PCV pipe (even picked up the ends on sale) and was trying to figure out how to mount it, when the Fence idea came around.
Love your Dual battery and LP system (maybe next year).

This is what Craig came up with. A 6 inch PCV pipe that he mounted between the LP tanks and the battery. The toilet wand and connections fit in it together. He didn't want to mount it beneath the trailer as we sometimes have to travel off road through rutted fields with the pod.

We have a box that holds both our elbows (15' main and the 10' "el cheapo" emergency hose).
I must admit that I do like the design you have with the sliding holder and if I had to do it over again, I would probably do it your way. Although, from the looks of your holder, I don't think it will hold a dominator hose. So, there goes the dilemma again...LOL
No need to go broke on this hobby: just set your priorities on what you really need before your wants.
