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).

Top part that will mount to frame is 8" long brackets made of 3/16 angle iron

6" long grade 8 bolts.

Bottom part is 1inch wide 3/16 flat iron, 6.5 inches long.

Great mod - - just curious though    ...why you went with a square drain hose holder rather than a round piece of PVC ?

Thanks,

OH that's easy...Someone posted directions and I was able to followLOL
 A woman with instructions is a dangerous thing! Wink
 
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.

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)!

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?

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.

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.
