After the frustrations that I have had with the R-Pod supplied sewer hose storage tube, this and a new mattress are my next two pod-mods!

I took my factory-supplied tube off this weekend.  I use a large toolbox to store my hose so I'm never going to use it - but I like this mod enough I might try it.

gmandual:

The angle iron that attaches to the frame, did you drill through the frame and used a screw and nut (w/lockwasher) or a metal screw to the frame.

Picked up all the parts (except the above), and I'm going to put it together tomorrow morning before it gets to hot to work outside.  (It's 90degrees today, can't even try out my heater for the next trip north).  Also what did you use to cut with.  I have hack saw, skill saw and a circular saw, I think the last one is over kill.  Also have tin snips that should work on the vinyl gutter.

Thanks for all the pictures.  As always I take the instructions to Lowes and they help me find all the things I need.

I don't have to cut the angle iron in came in 6" pieces, so I don't have to cut that.

 I do also have a hand saw, (but being a woman I try power tools first, sometimes I just don't have the raw strength needed.  WORST comes to WORST I can always get someone to cut for me.  

About the gas line, the screw thats holding it in place, puts the gasline and screw out just enough so there isn't a neat fit.  I'm going to take out the screw and see it I can move it a little otherwise I guess I'll just have to move the whole thing over at least an inch.  So maybe go back to up closer to the tongue.  

Metal Screw (self tapping?)then lock washer, the Lowes guy told me that once I got everything together and was happy then I should use the threadlock.  Did you and should I use the threadlock stuff first time attaching to the frame, or should I do a dry dry first? What will the do to the metal screw?  Should I have a second set for once I sure. 

Thanks for your patience and help.Thumbs Up  My generation of women weren't allowed in auto shop or wood shop, but here we are doing it all with a little help from our friends.

 A woman with instructions is also a very dangerous thing.

Sewer Hose Holder CompleteStar

Cut a 7ft long piece, Use Hack Saw on both Fence Post and Gutter


The Post cap I got was a little different so I put an eye screw instead, added washers after pictures.



Handles were pretty quick




Put a piece of 3" wood where the hose end and the gives me room for other things.  Just an example.



FINALLY EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE




THE HOLDER extends 41/2 inches out on either side.  If I don't like it, I can always make it shorter.  I just hate to bend over and then under to get to things. 

Thanks for all the help.
